The Sun over Trickum Middle School 2014-05-12, 13 and 14

14 May, 2014 (11:01) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

This year again we were invited to come to Trickum Middle School and bring astronomy and space exploration to its 6th grade students. This school is the most difficult school for us since we are addressing 24 classes or approximately 660 students with our outreach during the three days with 4 classroom hours each day. So we are handling two classes at the same time. The first half of the classroom hour, one class is outside while the other attends the presentations inside and the second half of the hour the other way around. Monday Frank, Valorie, David and Theo participated, Tuesday David and Frank could not make it so Bob Jacoby jumped in and on Wednesday, Valorie, Mr. Krabs, and me were spearheading the activities while the clouds worked with us except the very last class. Thanks everyone for being there!! Thanks also again to Mr. Patterson, who again this year asked us to come out and bring “the favorite program of the year” to this school. Also thanks to the teachers Ms Kuhl, Peters, and Mr. Lucy, Ewanowski and Masters for keeping the students on their best behavior.
