AJES fourth graders expand their minds at Carnegie Science Center

TAYLOR COUNTY—Recently, the fourth graders of Anna Jarvis Elementary School boarded busses and headed out on an adventure that was geared at expanding their minds and testing their bodies. On Friday, October 4, students, teachers and chaperones filed out of Anna Jarvis Elementary School and onto two busses that would take them to a place that would entertain and awe the kids, while they played and learned. After two hours on the road, the students arrived at Carnegie Science Center, located in Pittsburgh, for a day of fun and learning. The trip started with a 3D presentation in Rango’s Cinema of “Dream Big: Engineering Our World,” a film that would encourage the students to find a passion in life, set their goals high, dream big and push to obtain those dreams.
