Monday night – VASE Stem grants (aka Science Santa)

Earlier this evening I had one of my favorite meetings of the year. My buddies and I in VASE (Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering) got to award over $11,000 dollars in small grants to science teachers cross vermont . Three years ago we started a grants program that enables us to find hands on STEM education for any teacher that can show good cause and a good plan.. Its such a great way for our group to help the state..

 

and I just love my fellow VASErs (?)Visits ? .. whatever they’re called.. they are very nice folks

ok.. early flight.. gotta sleep. night all, nite sam

I finally made it home last night after 36 hours of trying. I was SO glad to see Diane.. I landed at 7PM  We headed straight over to Marcy. Matt , Finn and Lily’s and did Halloween.

 

 

they had made me grilled cheeses !. i was starving !

 

and they’d saved me a peanut butter cup.. thats really love !

 

diane was dressed as a witch .. and I went as.. what I always do.. mad scientist..

 

even though it was after 8.. Finn was ready to go out again with me

 

their neighborhood in hinesburg really does halloween up well !

 

cautioning the loot !
