COSI is coming to Symmes Elementary!

The PTO is once again able to bring COSI to Symmes thanks to all of the generous support of our Symmes families!  COSI, the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio, is bringing their traveling program on Wednesday, November 12th (that’s an E day).  “Current Conditions” is this year’s theme.  Our students will learn about weather prediction, explore the formations of clouds, and discover the strength of air pressure.

This is a hands-on learning experience for all the students at our school and YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!  You don’t need a science background to help with the hands-on sessions, only ENTHUSIASM and ENERGY for a great day of learning and fun!  Grandparents and other family members are also welcome to help!

Check your calendars and see if you would like to participate in this fun event!
