Thank you to our students, families, and staff who attended our Villa of Hope School Open House on Thursday, October 3, 2019. It was so nice to meet many of our families, to see our students take great pride in their school, and introducing their family to the staff. There was an energy, excitement, and positive atmosphere this evening that continues to amaze me. Our Villa of Hope School is a special place, with remarkable students, talented staff, and supportive families. Thank you all!

Over the weekend of September 27th to the 29th, teaching assistant Dan Curtin attended his third annual Black Forest Star Party at Cherry Springs State Park in Pennsylvania. Star parties give amateur as well as professional astronomers an opportunity to gathertogether to do what they love most, trade tips, equipment and experiences, and just have a great time. 2019 was the 21st annual such event held at the state park three hours due south of Rochester in the hills of Susquehannock State Forest, one of the darkestspots on the Eastern Seaboard. This year featured sparkling images of the constellation Orion, and quite a few shooting stars! Mr. Curtin encourages anyone with any interest in nature to try it some time, only $40 to register at http://www.bfsp.org/

Thank you Mr. Curtin for inspiring the Scienctist in all of us!
