Science Night Presenters!
There will be more information to come about this family-friendly evening event, but in the meantime, we are reaching out to Briarwood parents who have a science-related career or hobby who might like to share their talents with our students and families!
The format for Science Night is meet, greet and inform. It is a busy evening, so individual contact is short – a quick hands-on activity or demonstration works very well.
Please reach out to Anya Arnold, Science Night Chair at anya.e.arnold@gmail.com or 913-709-6179 if you have any questions or are interested in being a presenter.
Thank you in advance for your support. We look forward to another fun Science Night this winter!
