[Eoscstudents] Menu for Manic Mon. Aug. 21

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

We had a great turnout Friday night for our Girl Scout stargazing 
program.  Mr. Hawthorne came early and stayed late, giving the girls and 
leaders an opportunity to view not only the night sky, but sunspots as 
well.  Our new faculty member, Roger Nelson, also came with telescope in 
hand, as did Don Stites from Robber's Cave State Park, who brought a 
really big telescope (it looks like a hot water heater!), so we had 
several different sizes of scopes to view through.   Don also pointed 
out the space station as it traveled over our heads.   We just happened 
to be out there at the right time to see it as it passed directly over 
us!  The only drawback was that we did have a great deal of cloud cover, 
which impeded our visibility somewhat.  I think all of us did get to see 
Jupiter and several of it's moons, though, which was a unique 
experience.  Jupiter is visible with the naked eye, but the moons are 
not, so it was surprising to see them there through the telescope. 

The rain we got yesterday evening was a welcome relief, after these 100+ 
degree days we've been having.  Here's hoping that the temperatures will 
stay below the 3 digit mark the rest of this week, and for my part, the 
rest of the year!

Our menu for today includes:

            Chicken enchilada casserole
            Steamed red potatoes
            Peas
            Baby carrots
            Corn
            Rolls
            Rice
             Baked potato bar


Our fast food is Meatball Subs with Marinara Sauce and Tator Tots.
          
And for dessert try some delicious Banana Split Cake.

Come on over and have some lunch with us,

Rhoda    :-)
