A teacher, Nancy Ward, recently wrote Jerry Hubbell about a class project her students were doing to update their
aging website adding a comprehensive resource for students and parents. They chose to include our website and Links
page. They returned the favor by sharing a nice resource called
A Guide To Light Pollution. The RAClub members thank the students of Nancy Ward's class for bringing this page to our attention. This link is
available on our Links page
