Grade 6 Students at Cahill Elementary School had a Blast of Day, recently.
Students have been diving deep into all things Weather & Climate related in their classes, and having Kate drop by was the cherry on top of their weather cake! She blew student minds with some seriously cool experiments. And get this—Kate's been fascinated by weather since she was just 10 years old! How awesome is that?
Oh, and here's a sweet twist: Kate gave a shoutout to her 5th-grade science inspiration, Alexandria Gambino. Way to go, Alexandria!
We're all bursting with pride for Kate, and we're so grateful she shared her passion and experience with us. Today was one for the books, folks!
