A Bunch of Big Kids

This week museum staff—22 in all—gathered for teambuilding activities and to review the museum’s strategic plan. Embracing the philosophy that “playing is essential to learning,” staff juggled fuzzy dice and wiggled through hula hoops under the playful guidance of Jennie Madland, current board member and former education director at the museum.

Try this at home! Can you lower a hula hoop with just the tips of your fingers? It's harder than it looks.

Museum staff are expert jugglers. We know how to have fun and learn at the same time!

Teamwork!
