Elementary Students Give Thanks
Check out a few of the creative and colorful thank you notes from Sequoia Elementary School's two 5th grade classes who recently toured the SPARQ Center on a field trip. They enjoyed the We Are Stars planetarium movie.
The Piner High SPARQ Planetarium and Digital Theater has been hosting Elementary and Junior High classes from around Sonoma County since 2016. To date we have had 5,500+ visitors with an average attendance of 750+ students each school year (minus 2021 due to Covid). The SPARQ planetarium has also hosted high school classes, SRJC students, and boy/girl scout troops earning their Astronomy badges.
