Don't forget, this Wednesday is the return of our QM Science Clubs. We hope to see all you Wildcat Scientists there!

On Monday, we will be lucky enough to be in the path of the Solar Eclipse so QM students will get a good look (no pun intended) at it. We will learn about solar eclipses and then go outside to view it!
