This Valentine's Day, the students in North Hills High School's Astronomy Club are offering the moon and the stars along with dinner. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
The cost is $12 for an adult dinner or $8 for a child's pasta dinner without chicken. <\/p>\n
The food will be catered by the district's food services department. <\/p>\n
After eating, diners can watch a show in the high school's planetarium, which has a 24-foot dome. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Seatings will be offered at 5:30, 6:15 and 7 p.m. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
