(Seguin) \u2014 The past will come to life for Seguin ISD students this week when \u201cDinosaur George\u201d comes to visit. His visit will be this Tuesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n
The traveling museum hosted by self-taught paleontologist and animal behaviorist George Blasing will take over part of the district\u2019s Administration Building. Students across Seguin ISD will have the opportunity to visit, thanks to the Roland and Jane Blumberg Family STEM Grant through the Seguin Education Foundation (SEF).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership with the Blumberg family shows what the Seguin Education Foundation does best: connecting our community\u2019s generosity with experiences that inspire future scientists and innovators,\u201d said Jill Nash, executive director of the Seguin Education Foundation and director of community outreach for Seguin ISD. \u201cWhen students can see these incredible specimens up close and watch paleontology come alive, that\u2019s what gets kids excited about learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
The traveling museum features both fossil replicas and prehistoric artifacts from around the world and across periods, providing visitors with a unique look at the history of the Earth.<\/p>\n
\u201cDinosaur George\u201d is no stranger to Seguin ISD; he has made previous visits to several schools in recent years. The museum will host field trips for several classes at Seguin ISD schools during the school day. Families may also visit the museum and store during select hours at the Seguin ISD Administration Building on all three days.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn in a fun and interactive way,\u201d said Dr. Jack Lee, Seguin ISD Superintendent. \u201cWe are grateful to the Seguin Education Foundation for providing this experience and making it accessible for all families.\u201d<\/p>\n
The museum will be open to the public from 4 to 7 p.m. each day; admission is free. The Kona Ice truck will also be on site with refreshments for purchase.<\/p>\n
A portion of the sales from the museum\u2019s store and Kona Ice refreshments will go toward future \u201cDinosaur George\u201d visits to Seguin ISD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Seguin) \u2014 The past will come to life for Seguin ISD students this week when \u201cDinosaur George\u201d comes…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":228301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[123367,5229,123364,27483,123369,62761,5037,123366,728,123372,12642,4368,422,123371,7202,7203,69351,123365,123368,123370,123373,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-228300","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-am1580","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-city-of-seguin","11":"tag-digital-media","12":"tag-digital-newspaper","13":"tag-guadalupe-county","14":"tag-it","15":"tag-kwed","16":"tag-local-news","17":"tag-news-radio","18":"tag-newspaper","19":"tag-podcast","20":"tag-radio","21":"tag-radio-news","22":"tag-san-antonio","23":"tag-sanantonio","24":"tag-seguin","25":"tag-seguin-daily-news","26":"tag-seguin-news","27":"tag-seguin-today","28":"tag-seguin-tx","29":"tag-texas","30":"tag-tx","31":"tag-united-states","32":"tag-united-states-of-america","33":"tag-unitedstates","34":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","35":"tag-us","36":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115207439950732925","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
