Our Safety Patrols arrived home safely last night after three very busy days in Washington DC. Welcome back everyone! We missed you!

After a month of cloudy skies spoiled our fun in December, Astronomy Nights are back and hoping for clear skies in January.  We have two nights scheduled: Friday January 13th and Friday, January 27th.  We will have telescopes set up on both nights from 6-8 in the courtyard.  Enter school through the SACC door on the North side of the school (where you pick up students from Aftercare).  Jupiter should look great, along with a variety of interesting stars, nebulas, and other deep sky objects.

If the sky is mostly covered with clouds, or it is raining, stay home!  For up to the minute updates on weather status, go to http://planetarium.poincianastem.org.
