First Day

Allow us to introduce ourselves…

Today your child began an exciting science program in their classroom offered by Science from Scientists. SfS is a Boston-based, non-profit organization that strives to improve science and technology attitudes and aptitudes. We send real scientists into the classroom during school every other week to teach exciting, fun, and curriculum-relevant science lessons. We will be visiting your child’s classroom every other week throughout the school year. We will bring engaging, informative, and stimulating hands-on lessons with us to supplement the school’s science curriculum.

Your child’s instructors are Dr. Leighann Sullivan and Dr. Elizabeth Bless.   Dr.  Sullivan earned her undergraduate degree in Biology from Cornell University and graduate degree in Biochemistry from Rice University.  She has previously taught at the middle school, high school, and college levels. The reason she loves teaching is the joy in seeing the excitement on the students’ faces as they discover something new about science.

Dr. Bless received her BA in psychology from Colby College and her doctorate in neuroscience from Boston College. She has worked in academia and industry and is currently doing research in obesity and neurogenesis at Wellesley College. Dr. Bless is amazed at the interesting questions that the elementary students ask that often stump her!
