March "Parent Invite to Lunch"
Barker's monthly "Parent Invite to Lunch" for March was held on Tuesday, March 15th. The luncheon activity celebrated "Women's History Month" and those women Nobel Prize winners in Science to link STEM. Students and parents were challenged to create a postage stamp to represent a women Nobel Prize Winner in Science. Nobel Prize Winners in Science that were women include:
* MarieCurie, most famous of all women scientists who won two Nobel Prizes, discovered radioactivity
* Dorothy Hodgkin, discovered the structures of penicillin and vitamin B-12
* Linda Buck, discovered how the olfacory system (sense of smell) works and how people are able to recognize and remember more than 10,000 odors
The next "Parent Invite to Lunch" for April is Friday, April 15th.
