ESOY Elementary Science Program
The Engineering Society of York has recently initiated an Elementary School
Science Program. The program is an interactive science program that is free to
the elementary schools. The purpose of the program is to enliven an interest in 
the study of science and encourage scientific thinking skills. The program is
being conducted by James Filizzi, a retired science teacher of 35 years of
teaching experience at Dallastown Area High School. The program presents
physical science concepts in a grade appropriate manner for 30 to 40 minutes
and is presented in a single classroom setting or a multi-room setting with
several classes. As we are just starting the program, it is available to third
grade classes only. We are hoping to grow the program.
Monies for the Elementary Science Program come from the Edgar P. Kable Trust Fund. The Kable Trust Fund was originally funded by a former President of the York Water Company, Edgar P. Kable. The trust fund was supplemented with a substantial gift from John Kable (Edgar's nephew) in 2000.
The program is currently for third grade and is free to York County Elementary Schools. We are hoping to expand and grow the program. For Additional information you can view the feature article on the York Dispatch website at http://www.yorkdispatch.com/searchresults/ci_4560301 or contact:
