George Weissbeck was $5 happy to have visited the new Idaho Museum, Lisa Vincent was $20 happy because her broken bone is on the mend, David Hawk was $5 happy about something that this reporter was unable to make out, Bob Rose was happy to have taken a cruise to Honduras with his family, Jon Seetin was happy to be celebrating his 45th wedding anniversary and Jan was happy to have been able to help out at Whittier School.
Our guest speaker was Amanda Cox, the co founder and co principal at Future Public School in Garden City. The Future Public School is a Charter School that specializes in STEM education. It was founded last year and already has 230 students, or "Engineers" as they are referred to. Her presentation was very interesting and you can get more information about the school at https://www.futurepublicschool.org/
