Kudos for Terrific Science

‘Mickey’ science takes real-world science and puts it in the child’s lap… This is the power of Mickey Sarquis. She never stops teaching. She never wanes in her enthusiasm of what she does. She never stops being an advocate of chemical education. She has impacted my career and thousands of students from my school district alone. — Rex Bucheit, Former participant, Partners for Terrific Science (current principal, Fillmore Elementary School)
