    • TOMORROW! Join NOAA Planet Stewards December Book Club Meeting! December 12

       
      NOAA Planet Stewards Newsletter

      Pick Up A Great Read This Weekend…

      …and join NOAA Planet Stewards for our December Book Club Meeting – With the Author!

      Make sure to take some quality time for yourself this holiday season, and what better way than curling up with a fun, young adult undersea adventure story by marine scientist Dr. Ellen Prager.  

      Then join NOAA Planet Stewards on Tuesday, December 12 at 8:00 PM ET to discuss the book and how you might use it in a classroom setting with Dr. Prager herself! 

      In Escape Undersea, the protagonists Ezzy and Luke are invited to the world’s only undersea research station in the Florida Keys with their father, and dive into an unexpected adventure. While visiting their ex-military friends in the Aquarius Sea Station, Ezzy and Luke encounter a strange algae bloom at the surface, giant goliath groupers, and a mysterious fish that threatens the coral reefs and their own safety. It’s another wild ride filled with humor and action as Ezzy Skylar explores the depths of her courage while overcoming her insecurities. With new friends, she and Luke discover the wonders of the undersea world and what it is like to live underwater. But once again they unwittingly stumble into a plot that could have disastrous consequences for the local wildlife and must jump into action to save the day.

      A complete description of the book, meeting discussion questions, login information, and all the dates and selections for the entire 2023-2024 academic year are posted on our website.

      And remember…

      For details on all our meeting dates, times, selections, and how to log in, go to our Upcoming Events Page.

      Sign up to receive reminder announcements on our mailing list!

      See previously selected books and discussion questions in our Book Club Archive.

      We look forward to seeing you there.

      Meeting about Gulfport Blvd.

      Monday, November 27th | 6 p.m.

      49th Street Neighborhood Center,1617 49th St. S.

      Gulfport Boulevard, a county road traversing through Gulfport, serves as the primary point of entry for visitors to our town. It is imperative that we create an impression of welcome and beauty.

      To this end, the Gulfport Merchants Association, the County, and April Thanos have initiated a collaborative effort to plant trees along the street and to enhance its appeal. In this regard, the County Forestry Representatives will present their ideas, which we will discuss to ensure they align with the community’s values. We would also like to encourage residents to attend the meeting as Gulfport Boulevard is a shared responsibility. We seek to promote private property tree planting to contribute to the region’s attractiveness. We welcome your ideas and input.

      For additional information, please feel free to contact City of Gulfport Councilmember April Thanos by email at athanos@mygulfport.us or by phone at (727) 826-7138.
