SVdP SHOCKED, ENTERTAINED, ENLIGHTENED, AMUSED AND CHALLENGED THOUSANDS

Science Department represents SVHS at the annual North Bay Science Discovery Day.

On Saturday, October 28, four science department teachers and seven student volunteers, represented our school at this year’s North Bay Science Discovery Day. The annual event is held at the Santa Rosa Fairgrounds. This year there was some uncertainty if the event could be held at the time and place calendared. Exhibitors were contacted and the census was that the event should proceed as planned. Approximately 100 exhibitors shocked, entertained, enlightened, amused, and challenged thousands of visitors. (The estimated number of visitors this year has yet to be tabulated. Last year it approached 15,000.)  SVHS’s booth involved challenging visitors to observe and use a “Cartesian Diver” to pick up a submerged “treasure” in a column of water. Faculty and, more often, student volunteers, interacted with the guests and explained the mechanics involved and provided materials for the visitors to take home in order make their own. All the while, promoting our school! 

Faculty members present included: Mr. Baxter, Mrs. Crosby, Mr. Morton, and Dr. Svitak. Student volunteers included: Katie and Neila Gross, Tom Hearty, Megan Hill, Gavin Parnes, Eliza Stirrat, and Bean Zheng.

OPEN HOUSE IS THIS SUNDAY 10-12/NOON

Make sure to remind your friends and neighbors, who have Middle and High School age students not to miss this opportunity to get to know our school!  We have new Volunteer jobs posted in Beehively for this event here.

Final Payment is due now for the Senior Disneyland Trip The final payment of $125 for the Senior Disneyland Trip is due by next Wednesday, November 8 to Mrs. Doolittle. Thank you for being timely!
