Parent - Teacher Night Observing
Parent Teacher Night, February 24th. 6-8 p. m. if clear telescopes will be set up outside the auditorium of Hedgesville High School in Hedgesville, WV. Astronomy videos will be shown in the planetarium.
Students are doing four moon observations this nine week grading period and some have never looked through a telescope. If you can come, help out, it would appreciated. If you don't have a scope, or do not want to bring one, maybe you can set up the planetarium's telescopes. Thanks in advance from Betty.
