Why is it important to study science?
I have listened to the last two speakers and am amazed that we have spent so much time on such a trivial matter. Why are we discussing clothing, when the real issue we need to discuss is the loss of the science club? I found out a few weeks ago that the school board is no longer going to fund the club and the club will no longer be able to meet in the science lab.

teacher tips

The science club started four years ago and has allowed hundreds of students to perform scientific experiments, learn about scientific theory and make new discoveries. The group meets twice a week for two hours after school and brings joy to enthusiastic students every session. These students learn problem-solving skills as well as practical application of many scientific principles.

Towahee School Board Meeting Transcripts 22 August 22 7:06 p.m. Jethro Glimm
During its four years, the science club has won two state prizes for innovating investigation and research. Two members were invited to London to meet the Prime Minister during British Science Week and another student has received a full scholarship to Regent’s University for her inquiry into sweat molecules, which she started during the science club. I believe this club brings opportunities to the students that they would not be able to find anywhere else.

Towahee School Board Meeting Transcripts 22 August 22 7:06 p.m. Jethro Glimm
It is true that the science club needs many costly supplies for their experiments, but it is a huge injustice that the school budget can fund multiple trips for sporting teams, which leaves nothing left for actual academic endeavours. I hope the school board realizes the importance of the science club and votes tonight to reestablish the science club and give it the funding it deserves.
