Tuesday, February 16, several club members attended the 3rd grade class Muse Machine program at Morrison Elementary School. Our members were invited since this was made possible by a grant from the Polar Bear Fund which our club supported. A report of the event was given in a previous club email bulletin, and on the previous Bulletin Board page, but those reports did not include a copy of the invitation that the third graders had sent to our club. At the left is a copy of the children's handiwork. (For photos from the event, click on "<<previous" at the bottom of this page). |

Some links of interest to the Northridge area are posted in the panel at the right (see the red buttons under "Other Northridge Links"). They are for The Northidge Alumni Bear Facts website, the Northridge Schools website, and the Northridge Schools facebook page.
