Our children's librarian, Nancy, has been awarded the Best Practices Award by the Pennsylvania Library Association for her Headstart Science Program.
Each month, Nancy creates and does a science program at the Rimersburg Headstart, a division of the Jefferson Clarion County Headstart. The program is based on the educational standards for the state of Pennsylvania. The program is aimed at getting children to think about the world around them, how things work, and why certain things happen. The program also includes materials for parents to take home continue the projects and materials. The projects/experiments utilize everyday materials, making it extremely low-cost.
The children greatly enjoy this program, which helps introduce them to science and the experimental method.
The award will be presented to Nancy in Harrisburg on April 1, 2009.
