Waterloo Community School District No. 5

Gardner Elementary School’s S.H.O.W. Senators collaborated with the Waterloo Park District on After Dark at Lakeview Park held on Saturday, October 10th. River Bend Astronomy Club provided telescope viewing and participants learned about about the constellations, their myths, locations in the sky as well as the fascinating science behind space rocks, meteors, and cosmic debris.

What a great community event and we are so proud of our S.H.O.W. Senators for their hard work and participation!
