Page Editor: Emily Lawson, 754-0424 LAKE CITY REPORTER LOCAL SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2013 a Space Night was out of this world By TONY BRITT [email protected] A school project that began as Summers Elementary students sought knowledge about space and stars turned out to be a community unifying project where everyone increased their knowledge about the galaxy. The school on Thursday held Space Night, which more than 1,000 people attended to learn about the final frontier. “The reason we wanted to do this for our school is we knew our children wouldn’t have the oppor- tunity to get this hand’s on experience and in look- ing at our science standards, space is covered in VPK through fifth grade,” said Dianna Swisher, a Summers Elementary School teacher. Summers Elementary School fifth graders, along with fifth graders across the state, are required COURTESY PHOTOS to take the science portion of the FCAT (Florida ABOVE LEFT: Dianna Swisher poses in a piece of art and looks like an astronaut in space. ABOVE: Space night participants. Comprehensive Assessment Test), which includes questions dealing with space and astronomy. “Twenty-two percent of the science FCAT is based on space,” Swisher said. “As a school wide unit this is something they can continually build on as go through each grade.” The program coincides with a state- and nation- wide push to bolster learning in STEM, science, technology, engineering and math. The Space Night activities took place from 5 - 8:30 p.m. Thursday and more than 1,000 people attended, including every member of the school’s faculty. The exhibits the audience and students viewed were in the school’s physical education area and the all-purpose building. In addition a planetarium was set up there. “This was such a big undertaking for our school,” Swisher said. “We have a new principal this year and she is very science-based and she is leading our school in that science strong direction. It was an amazing turnout for summers for community out- reach.” “This project has been a culmination of the whole school coming together,” said Amy Stanton, Summers Elementary School principal. “This was absolutely a different way for a community to come together with science.” The planetarium was a 25x25 foot exhibit that was 10-feet tall. It showed a night in the sky, including the moon phases as seen from earth. The exhibitor Heather Geibieg aka “Mrs. Frizzle” with 1st grade daughter Katy Lyn Geibieg stand in front of the moon rover. was flown in from Texas to lead the demonstration and also answered questions from students and the audience afterward. The demonstration lasted approximately 20 minutes per show. “It was supposed to conclude at 8:30 p.m., but he did demonstrations until 9 p.m. because so many people wanted see it,” Swisher said. “They waited in line for more than an hour to see it.” Each class did a science project and judges were brought in to determine who had the best space project from each grade level. Stanton promised to reward the student winners, as well as their teachers, by offering them a “Snow Day” where she teaches the science lesson. “I’m a science girl and when we were talking about doing a big community event, we thought that space is something highly covered in all of our grades that the kids learn from pre-school to fifth grade and on,” Stanton said. “We thought why not do this on parent involvement night. It was unbelievable.”

ANOTHER VIEW ‘Unprovoked and dastardly’

eventy-two years ago yesterday, at 7:53 a.m., the Japanese began their attack on Pearl Harbor, killing 2,335 servicemen and 68 civil- ians, and wounding 1,178 others. Seventy-two years ago today, on Dec. S8, 1941, at 12:30 p.m., President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave the following address to Congress. Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, members of the Senate and the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversa- tion with its government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. ... It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliber- ately sought to deceive the United States by false state- ments and expressions of hope for continued peace.

Tears threatened, but she held them at bay. The room around her was mostly bare, except for a scattering of pictures from her various school-designated trips, Columbia High School memorabilia and personal touches.
