The Vallecito Union School District recently hosted two “Mad Science Nights,” bringing students and their families together for an engaging evening of hands-on science. The first event took place at Albert Michelson Elementary on Oct. 9, where 192 people, including students and their families, gathered to explore a variety of interactive science stations. A second science night followed at Hazel Fischer Elementary, drawing 148 attendees, eager to participate in the night’s experiments and activities. Feedback provided through survey responses showed families were highly engaged in the learning stations and there was an overwhelming request to offer more similar family events in the future. Based on survey input, VUSD is looking to host family art night events in the spring.
