On Thursday, March 19, “Janet’s Planet,” sponsored by Ascend Performance Materials in Greenwood, will introduce students to the wonders of the galaxy, focusing on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
“Tour Through Our Solar System,” for children in grades 5k- through-5, is the theme of the morning show at 9:30. The noon production will be “Exploring Microgravity,” for children in grades 3- through-8. “Janet’s Planet” is a popular television show seen on more than 144 public television stations across the country.
All three Outreach performances will be held at Lander University’s Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center Auditorium.
