Fifth-graders from all four of Warren’s PK-8 schools participated in an out-of-this-world experience during a recent visit to the new Warren City Schools’ Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
On Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, the students spent time inside an inflatable SkyDome Planetarium learning about stars, planets and constellations.
The event, organized in partnership with Mobile Ed Productions, marked the school district’s first large-scale field trip to the new student center located on the the Warren G. Harding High School campus.
Groups of students sat inside the darkened SkyDome for about 45 minutes, viewing projected images of the night sky.
The planetarium can accommodate up to 90 students at a time. As one group of students experienced the SkyDome, another group was either arriving or department via buses from their respective school buildings. day was carefully coordinated, with staggered bus schedules bringing students from each school.
