We are thrilled to invite you to a very special event as part of the Southwest Astronomy Festival—an exclusive opportunity just for educators!
On Saturday, September 13th at 6 pm, Dr. Jesse Christiansen, Chief Scientist at NASA’s Exoplanet Science Institute, will be joining us at ICSD's District Office to share her groundbreaking work in the search for planets beyond our solar system. This is a rare chance to hear directly from a leading NASA scientist and to connect with the wonder, discovery, and "cool factor" of cutting-edge space exploration.
In addition to this teacher session, you are welcome to attend any of the other events throughout the Astronomy Festival. To honor your participation in any of the events, you will complete a short reflection form connecting what you learned to your classroom practice or lesson planning. Upon submission, you’ll receive a stipend in recognition of your professional learning.
We also want this to be a family-friendly experience—please feel free to bring family members along to enjoy this and the other festival events.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to connect with NASA science and bring the universe a little closer to your classroom. Register here today!

News Nugget: We have been so excited to get to know all our new polar bears this school year! Classrooms have been busy getting into their routines and learning our S.T.A.R. expectations. One great tradition students look forward to is our 2nd/5th grade buddies. Students mentor and complete a variety of activities through the year together. This week Ms. Fotheringham and Mrs. Wright’s classes were working on a “Get to Know My Buddy” activity.
As part of remembering September 11th, students and teachers read stories and engaged in activities that highlighted themes of hope, service, and caring for our community.
