spaces available in the 11am class and 18 spaces available in the 1pm
class. Parents need to select either the 11am or 1pm class with the
classes filled on a first come first serve basis.
The Exploreum science lab classes will meet the second Tues. of every
month beginning August 14th. Tim Pula, will conduct the labs using
state of the art lab equipment and computers. Topics to be covered
during the year are in the biological and physical sciences.
This is such a great opportunity for our high school students and I
hope that we have a good response.
By the way, parents can contact me at
homeschoolexplore@yahoo.com if
they are interested in the program. I would like to hear from everyone
asap so that we can organize the classes for August.
