We owe the Administration, Teachers & Staff of the Greater Lawrence Technical School a tremendous amount of respect, praise and gratitude for believing in our cause from day one, granting us permission to “take over” the entire school for the night, affording us access to their incredible resources in preparation, and supporting the SHPE Jr Summer STEM program – ALL IN KIND!!!!!  Thank you so very much!!

A special note of appreciation goes out to all the Individual Donors on GoFundMe and PayPal, our Corporate Sponsors, each of our STEM & Outreach Partner Organizations and countless student volunteers involved to make the 2013 GLTS Noche De Ciencias possible!… Your positive thoughts, guidance, donations, contributions, energy and efforts will not be forgotten!!
