Don't forget the BUGS in your planning this fall - Autumn is when the BUGS are out and your students are seeing them in their world - for better or worse! We can help shape their natural encounters into positive interactions with their natural world!

Our CLASSROOM and ASSEMBLY lessons are fun, funny, fun, useful and interesting. Our BUGS and content stimulate standards-based experiences for all grades and abilities - and faculty, too!

The threat of rain won't keep us down- our friends (and members!) at United Way of Ashland County Ohio are moving their Final Fun Friday of the year from Foundation Plaza to The Ashland Theatre. So, this Friday, August 7th, today, if you, and your kids, want to meet all the grooviest bugs ever, up close and personal, come join us at the Theatre, where you can do that, and more, thanks to the Bugman Education & Science Shows! There will also be lunch (for free!), plus lots of cool community groups sharing their information (like us!); come down and see us all for a great end of summer event, out of the heat and/or rain.

(Also, United Way will be happy to take all of your school supply donations if you can't make it out to Stuff the Bus this weekend!)
