Science Club meets in the Room 110 from 3:45-4:45. Students may enroll in one, two, or all three sessions. There is no charge to participate, however, you must register by completing the attached form and returning it to the Olive office no later than Friday, December 16. Students and children are enrolled on a first-come, first-served basis; session sizes are limited and often fill up quickly so don’t delay!
To ensure that we’re able to provide a safe and enjoyable activity there will be at least two adults present each day. Any days that do not have at least one adult volunteer helper will be cancelled. Please consider signing up to help as your schedule allows. Parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles are all welcome to volunteer. Don’t let the Olive students have all the fun; even if you can only come one day out of the fifteen please join us! Thank you.
Science Club has been funded by generous grants and donations from BP, Northrop Grumman Corporation, the American Chemical Society, ABC 25, Educational Innovations, Barnes and Noble, Orochem Technologies Inc., and individuals interested in science education.
