A few months ago, we posted a letter from our RJES Space Club looking for donations towards purchasing a telescope. We are happy to announce that we received enough funding to purchase an amazing telescope for our young scientists! We are so excited to be able to use this with our Space Club students, who are in the process of giving the telescope a Sm'algyax name! 🔭 A special thank you to all of our donors, including Sealaska Heritage Institute, for making this possible! #richardjohnsonelementary #metlakatla #alaska #spaceclub #rjes #students #sealaskaheritageinstitute #science #exploration
