Galactic Fun at Lowell Observatory!

Galactic Fun at Lowell Observatory!

Recently, the entire lower elementary took a trip to Lowell Observatory! In addition to exploring the recently built spaces for kids inside the museum, “The kids had a lot of fun and learned about the discovery of Pluto at the observatory while getting to see the actual telescope that took the picture,” said Willow guide Kendra Hermann. “They learned about Clyde Tombaugh who discovered Pluto and how he spent hours in the tower of the telescope in the dark going through the pictures.” The kids also experienced a demonstration of how cold it is on Pluto, and how monsoons form in the summer. They even got to look at the sun through a special telescope on the observation deck. (Don’t worry, no eyes were harmed in the staring-at-the-sun experience!) Thank you to everyone at Lowell Observatory for making the trip fun, educational and out-of-this-world!

Bingo Night a Huge Success!

Haven Montessori’s Annual Bingo Night was a big success: together we raised over $10,000!! Wowza! Thank you to all the parents, Haven family, staff and community supporters who came out, had fun, yelled bingo, bought raffle tickets before and during, bid on the silent auction, and volunteered to help make this awesome night happen! And a special shout out to all the local businesses who donated prizes and helped get the word out. It was so awesome to come together and make Haven an even better place for children to grow!
