Community/Citizen Science Day

    Date Posted: Thu, Mar 27 - 12:30 am

    Question

  • I am the librarian at Albert Hill Middle School, and I would like to have a Master Gardener from RVA participate in our 1st annual Community/Citizen Science Day. The event will be from 8:30 to 2:30 in the library. The event is designed to show students how people and organizations in our community are using science to make our world a better place to live and to give them a taste of what it might be like to work or volunteer in these types of endeavors. While at Matoaca H.S., in Chesterfield County, I held two very successful events, one in which a master gardener from Chesterfield participated. She brought in a worm garden, which was a big hit with the kids. Each participating organization will have a space in the library where they can mount a display and, if possible, provide some type of interactive component for the students. Although I can't pay you for your efforts, I will provide lunch for all participating organizations. I hope you can join us for what I know will be a great event. Sincerely, Dale
