Garden Road Science Corps
Dedicated to creating and funding a solid scientific foundation for our youth.
Garden Road has a new volunteer organization called the Garden Road Science Corps. The Science Corps is exclusively devoted to creating more opportunities for scientific learning in our school on a daily basis. As part of this program, we are excited to introduce the Science Corps' Shoebox Science Program!
Students are able to participate in our new Shoebox Science Program available in the library. Individual science experiments in a box will be available for students to check out and explore at home, and then return to school just like a library book. If you are interested in letting your child be involved in this exciting program, please fill out the consent form your child brought home and return it to school.
Parent participation is vital to this program. Please consider donating time or sponsoring a kit. If you are interested, contact jlogan13@cox.net.
Please note the following information regarding the shoebox science program:
1) Some kits contain materials that are potentially harmful if swallowed, such as small, pointed objects and objects made of glass as well as common household products such as ammonia. Appropriate warnings are included in the instructions.
2) The shoebox science kits will be checked out through the school library. Students may check out one kit at a time and keep it at home for one week. Only those students with completed consent cards on file will be allowed to check out kits. Only 2 to 4 kits are allowed per classroom per week. By signing the card, you agree to accept responsibility for replacing lost or damaged kits. In the event a kit is damaged, you will be sent an itemized bill.
