On September 19th, 2008 JB Says
NYC MOUSE Squad students and coordinators are invited to attend the MOUSE Squad Kickoff on October 15th at New Jersey's newly renovated Liberty Science Center, from 10AM - 1PM!
- Kickoff of your MOUSE Squad year by plugging into the greater MOUSE Squad community;
- Participate in fun teambuilding activities;
- Teachers, network with other MOUSE Squad coordinators and share best practices;
- Hear about great updates to MOUSE Squad's 2008-2009 Programming;
- Explore the interactive exhibitions at the Liberty Science Center!
There will be separate activities for coordinators and students; if you are a new school or cannot bring your students, you are still encouraged to attend!!
TRANSPORTATION:
The Liberty Science Center is easily accessible by public transportation - http://www.lsc.org/visit/directions or if your school can charter a bus, it is just across the hudson in Jersey City.
If you are unable to provide your own transportation to the museum, MOUSE is providing one bus leaving from our office in Manhattan. We will not have space for every squad - bus sign up is on a first come, first serve basis. If you have received notification from MOUSE that your squad has been approved for the bus, you must arrive by 8:45AM to 295 Lafayette Street at the corner of East Houston Street. The bus will leave the museum at 1PM and return to the MOUSE office. Again, space on the bus is limited - register now!
