Today was an exciting day for Frisco and the entire North Texas area. State Senator Florence Shapiro, McKinney Mayor Brian Loughmiller and Plano Council Member Lissa Smith joined me and other leaders in announcing that the Sci-Tech Discovery Center has a new zip code -- in Frisco. They will be opening their doors in October at 3000 N. Dallas Parkway in the hear of Frisco's family-oriented downtown.
Board President Byron Williams along with Executive Director Erica Yaeger accepted a donation in the amount of $25,000 from Baylor Frisco to sponsor the first exhibit: "Grossology".
Visit their new website at http://www.mindstretchingfun.org for additional details. This is a project that has been a goal of mine for many years with the help of many others, we are finally starting to focus on math and science in our community. With the support of the local school districts, I look forward to some very exciting curriculum's being developed!
This is truly a regional benefit for North Texas that makes a real impact to our children.
