Making The JPL - DCPS Partnership Work

Beth Friederich, SE Youth Librarian II, reported in an email to Amber Holley, Rebekah Mitchell, and Jennifer Giltrop this good news, and Deputy Director Giltrop asked that Beth's email be shared with you: "This school year, I have grown to become a part of my region’s school community. Rather than going to SAC meetings and trying to convince them to let me into their school and ask how I could assist with their initiatives and events, this month, I got an invitation! Last Thursday and Friday, I judged the Science Fair at Greenfield Elementary. The field trips from our DCPS partnership have helped to solidify the bond between our communities and are beneficial to the customers that we have in common.

"Thank you for all of your hard work in organizing and making this partnership a success."

Ms. Friederich wanted to add this note FYI, "3rd – 5th grades participated in the Science Fair at Greenfield Elementary. Projects varied from the traditional volcano to the creative use of a laser to power an object and were assessed using a rubric. My favorite was the ANT BUFFET. The students believed the ants would prefer a sugary cookie to other foods. Unfortunately the ants that showed up at this picnic were not sugar ants but hot dog ants.
