We'd love to have your help at Science Night. Science Night has been a big hit at Sagamore the last 2 years.

We use parent volunteers all over the school. Some parents have a science background and some do not.

We have lots of ideas for science night but many of our talented parents have ideas of their own that we use. Families move room to room watching short demonstrations of science experiments or tricks.

Here are some of the stations we had last year: a hovercraft, the Atlanta Astronomy Club, Anatomy, Human Brain specimens from Emory, a magnet station, a dry ice show, etc. The ideas are endless.

Some parents volunteer to run their own station and use their own ideas. Other parents volunteer at a needed spot.

Do you have any particular interest in a certain area? Would you like to chat by phone so I can describe more to you?

Thanks so much for volunteering!! I love Science Night!
