USD Stargazing Club

Hi Stargazers,

This page is scheduled for deletion in 1.5 weeks. There were no incoming officers and so the club is currently non-existant. If you would like to keep the club at USD, please see Mr. Skelton. If you happen to arrange new officers within the next 1.5 weeks, comment on this post and I (admin) will hand the page off to you. Otherwise..

Happy Stargazing off screen. 🖤🌌

With that, please support Paola Carrasco and Leah Wargo as they take leadership of USD's Astronomy Club in the 2016-2017 school year!
