On Wednesday, September 24, 2014, at Eastern, there was a press conference held interviewing science teacher, Mr. Thomas Hefner, and a few students about the new Eastern Guilford Astronomy exhibit.
He explained how he got many grants from different companies supporting this effort and earned about $3800 in funding from different organization's, one being Lowe's hardware store. There are many of these exhibits all around the school, but the majority of them at the entrance of the football stadium. The others are scattered along the campus leading to the main entrance of the school.
Mr. Hefner began planning and starting this project in January of last year and has finally had the pleasure of finishing it after a lot of hard work. There are about 12 displays with planets on them and two with belts. He says that everyone pitched in to make this possible, including Math, English, Art, Carpentry, Photography class, foreign language, and of course, Science classes. They made everything from the posts to the pictures to the information on the panels. It all comes together to make one awesome exhibit. Everything was well thought out, such as the location at the entrance of the football stadium for anyone and everyone who wants to visit and learn about our solar system in a fun, interactive way.
So next time you're at a football game, or if you want to learn more about the solar system, I would strongly recommend you check out this wonderful new exhibit no other high school in this area has anything as amazing and cool as this. So I send out a big THANK YOU to everyone involved in putting this together it is an amazing exhibt . Make sure to tell all your friends. This is What Wildcat Pride is all about , and Welcome to Wildcat Country.

Since this is Anonymous I can neither confirm nor deny whom is writing this comment, but I am sure that Mr. Hefner does appreciate the time you gave to be at the press conference and write the above article. I am sure he is glad that you like what you saw. I am sure he would also encourage you to visit all 12 displays, the last of which is at the edge of campus near the entrance at Bethel Church Road.
ReplyDeleteMy first comment did not post. So I will try again.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Mr. Hefner appreciates you being at the press conference and writing the above article. I am betting he would also encourage you to visit all of the displays, the farthest one is at the edge of campus at the Bethel Church Rd entrance.
Of course with this being an anonymous post I can neither confirm nor deny who may be writing this comment.
