 Astronomy Club
Advisor: Sue Moe
We are members of the Night Sky Network which

Astronomical Society of the Pacific. The purpose of the network is to help
clubs with outreach programs. Last year the club did several outreach events
including one during the summer. In our club meetings, we have learned about
doing outreach as well as how to use telescopes, and astronomy in general.
The outreach kits the club has so far are about planets around other stars,
galaxies, and black holes. We are second in the nation for putting on events.
