One of the participating schools is Burnet Elementary School. Dallas Doing Good interviewed its Principal Sonia Loskot to learn more about her journey in education and the impact of United to Learn’s Community Campus Day.
Linda Silver: The Perot Museum Celebrates 10th Anniversary
The Perot Museum is a place where families can learn together and individuals can take a break from their daily routines to ponder the vast mysteries of science. Visitors can wander, either to get lost or to find their way, as they discover something new and fascinating.
The Museum reminds us that the universe is grander than ourselves, older than we can fathom, and that the world actually revolves around the sun, and not us. It inspires our community through exhibits, marvels, and presentations. It exhilarates and entertains visitors of all ages… because after all, it’s never too late to learn.
