Great News From The World of Science
Two of our MHS research students placed at the New Jersey Academy of Science Junior Science Symposium this weekend and three of our MHS research students were presented with research grants.
June 8th Coffeehouse will be outdoors!
Friday night’s coffeehouse was really well attended (about 140 kids…we ran out of food quickly). The students are planning the next (and last of the school year) coffeehouse to be outside. With this fun venue as well as its being so close to the end of the year, we expect another really good turnout for the June 8th coffeehouse.
Big turnout means BIG FOOD. We already plan to double our usual purchases of wings and subs. But we’ll need more snacks and water bottle contributions. Big turnout also means a few extra parent helpers. Communicating this need is where We’d like to ask your help!
Donors can drop off food/water bottles at Liz Burney’s house a day or two or three before 6/8. You may contact Liz via email, burtendor@gmail.com.
