WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL receives visit from Ford Motor Astronomy Club

Recently gentleman from the Ford Motor Astronomy Club made the annual visit to West Middle School. The club interacted with eighth-grade science students from the classes of Mrs. Pasek-Colley and Ms. Gibson.

Club members brought with them four high-powered telescopes, a variety of valuable meteorites and a wealth of information to share with our students.  
    
Thankfully, the weather cooperated and the clouds parted. Students were able to see the sun and at times a sliver of the planet Venus. The club members did a wonderful job of explaining and answering student questions. 
    
These gentlemen gave of their time and expertise to further the education of eighth grade students. West Middle School is very grateful and looks forward to partnering with the Ford Motor Astronomy Club in the future.
