The Science Alive program is lead by its coordinator, Shannon
Hardwicke, who is a parent of three current Theodore Judah
students. Since the start of the program five years ago,
Hardwicke is in charge of coordinating and training the 30 to 40
parent volunteers, or docents, that take the student groups out
into the garden each week. She also restocks garden and lab
supplies, and coordinates all the activities in the science labs
to “make sure they’re all based upon standards and we’re hitting
all different grade level activities,” she added.
