This Valentine's Day, the students in North Hills High School's Astronomy Club are offering the moon and the stars along with dinner.

The Astronomy Club will serve chicken Parmesan, pasta and salad in the cafeteria at the school, 53 Rochester Road, Ross Township. Star-covered tablecloths, electric candles and flower centerpieces will help set the mood.

Proceeds from the dinner will go toward the cost of the Astronomy Club's one-day trip to the Challenger Learning Center in Wheeling, W.Va., in March or April.

The cost is $12 for an adult dinner or $8 for a child's pasta dinner without chicken.

The food will be catered by the district's food services department.

After eating, diners can watch a show in the high school's planetarium, which has a 24-foot dome.

We'll intertwine the use of our optical-mechanical projector, six slide projectors and video projector to show the movie and project constellations and a miniature sky across the dome ceiling, said Buck Batson, a retired North Hills chemistry teacher who unofficially assists his wife astronomy teacher Sue Batson with the running of the planetarium.

Seatings will be offered at 5:30, 6:15 and 7 p.m.

After the 5:30 and 6:15 p.m. dinners, the featured show is Her Seven Brothers. Targeted toward children from preschool through elementary age, it tells a Cheyenne legend about a young Native American girl who travels to the North Country to find her seven brothers, but trouble ensues. The show lasts about 30 minutes.
