Blue Man Group & After-School All-Stars.

Select Media All-Stars students toured the Blue Man Group show on August 20th.  The students got to experience the show from start to finish.  The tour included the Blue Man Group Circle Meeting with all 65 Blue Man Group staff members present.  It takes that many to put on a show.  The students also got to talk to a Blue Man Actor and find out what it really is like to be in the show!  The entire group also got to sit in on the pre-show sound check and equipment check.  The students then got to see the Blue Man Group show at 7pm.  Thanks Blue Man Group for an exciting and informative tour!

The After-School All-Stars Students in the Lifetime Adventures Program went to Lake Mead on March 19th. The day was beautiful with calm winds and moderate temperatures. The National Park Service and Forever Earth (UNLV Program) combined efforts with the After-School All-Stars to make the day especially fun, exciting, and educational for all. The students learned about water quality and water testing at Lake Mead. Plus, the kids got to ride on a wonderful house boat courtesy of Forever Earth. Additional activities included: Hoover Dam history, fish identification, and hiking at the Kingman wash / lakeshore. Many Thanks to Jenny Martin, Hal & Tamy Edwards, Captain Larry, Dave Block, Daphne, and Ranger Sky. Also, look in your local VIEW Newspaper next week for complete coverage.
