Today was Club Day. Science Club didn't meet because of illness, but the STEM club and Writing Club did.

This week, Debbie Burget is offering a special deal on Usborne Books in her inventory to help benefit the Scieneers trip to the World Festival! She's offering 50% off of these books, and all proceeds will be donated to the STEM club towards the trip to the World Invitational Competition! How awesome is that? Great books AND you are helping the Scieneers. You can call her at (304) 534-7841 to make a shopping appointment. Offer expires March 31st.

If you are interested in supporting this worthy cause, there is also a donation button on the side of the blog, or you can use this:  SCIENEERS donation
