Starry Nights @ SFU: Astro Grads!
Maple Ridge Christian School 2nd Group - Thursday June 11 2009
We hosted our second group from Maple Ridge Christian School, a group of 25 Grade 6/7 kids led by their teacher Bonnie Roda, and accompanied by four parents. It was impressive to see how quickly and reliably the kids in this group learned to point a telescope. Our guests were also treated to pizza lunch and liquid Nitrogen ice-cream (with very special thanks to Dr. Sophie Lavieri and Dr. Becky Goyan for organizing the lunch). Many thanks of course to volunteers Gwen Eadie (President of the SFU student astronomy club), and workshop veteran Grace Min, in her second semester as an SFU Economics major. Thanks also to parents Rod and Collen Shearing for sending me pictures!
