DISCOVERY Children’s Museum Celebrates 25 Years of Inspiring Children and Families DISCOVERY Children’s Museum marked a milestone Wednesday, Sept. 9 as it celebrates 25 years of serving the children and families of southern Nevada. The Silver celebration will continue throughout 2016 with celebratory events and programming including: acknowledgement of those supporters who have built and sustained the organization since its founding, and ongoing promotion of the educational impact the Museum has had and continues to have on the community. “After 25 years, the museum is securing its future by ensuring we develop into a critical
generation in the GROSSOLOGY series. Oozing with disgusting science and interactive learning games, the all-new “Animal Grossology” exhibit is sure to provide a unique perspective on the animal kingdom. DISCOVERY Children’s Museum, in conjunction with Advanced Exhibits, the exhibit’s producer, invites you to experience some of the slimiest, stinkiest and downright yuckiest creatures on earth.

It’s science disguised in interactive entertainment and kids are more apt to learn when they’re having fun doing it. You may think leeches are pretty gross but they’re used after some surgeries to assist in the healing process. Did you know that cows are one of the gassiest animals on earth ? Learn why the dung beetle is nature’s living pooper scooper and why scientists are studying slug and snail slime production for clues in treating cystic fibrosis. community asset that complements and enhances the educational experience of the children of southern Nevada,” said Tifferney White, President and CEO of DISCOVERY Children’s Museum. “The new location was a realization of a years-long relocation plan and it set a new standard for interactive education in Las Vegas, truly establishing this organization as a community cornerstone. And, through its growing collaborations with other like-minded organizations, the Museum continues its outward facing path in making the Museum the go-tocommunity minded non-profit.” Some highlights in honor of the 25th Anniversary include: • “25” Community Collaborations – Highlight the collaborations between the Museum and like-minded organizations. • 25th Anniversary Museum Store Highlight – Each month, the Museum Store will highlight a special offer on designated store merchandise that will be discounted 25 percent. • Share Your Memories - We are collecting

A SWANKY EVENING IN SUPPORT OF THE MUSEUM The Magic of DISCOVERY Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year providing critical mission-based funding for our programs, exhibits, and outreach. On October 24, 2015, DISCOVERY Children’s Museum held The Magic of DISCOVERY Rat Pack Gala at Four Seasons Las Vegas. Our theme paid homage to the Golden Age of Las Vegas which began in 1960 when Dean, Frank, Sammy, Peter, and Joey became famously known as the “Rat Pack.” DISCOVERY Children’s Museum was honored to present the 16th Annual Great Friend to Kids Award to the Honorable Carolyn Goodman, Mayor of Las Vegas and Former Mayor Oscar Goodman. Mayors Goodman have been tremendous supporters of the Museum and contributed to making the new location and the downtown revitalization a reality. They have and continue to support critical education and outreach programs that benefit children and families in our community. We are grateful for our co-chairs Emily Goodman and Shari Wong for their leadership, our Board of Trustees for their unwavering support, and our generous Rat Pack Gala Committee members, volunteers, and partners who made this magical evening come alive. The Rat Pack Gala raised nearly $400,000, which is directly invested in the Museum’s mission of igniting a lifelong love of learning in children, families, and educators and creating positive and measureable impact in our community. To all who support The Magic of DISCOVERY Gala and DISCOVERY Children’s Museum each year, we give you our most heart-felt thanks for your investment!

Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history. The precursor to Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be “Negro History Week.” This week was chosen because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and of Frederick Douglass on February 14, both of which dates Black communities had celebrated together since the late 19th century. By the time of Woodson’s death in 1950, Negro History Week had become a central part of African American life and substantial progress had been made in bringing more Americans to appreciate the celebration. At mid–century, mayors of cities nationwide issued proclamations noting Negro History Week. The celebration was expanded to a month in 1976, the nation’s bicentennial. President Gerald R. Ford urged Americans to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” That year, 50 years after the first celebration, the association held the first African American History Month. By this time, the entire nation had come to recognize the importance of Black history in the drama of the American story. Since then each American president has issued African American History Month proclamations. Join us in celebrating some of the accomplishments, contributions and legacies of various individuals of African American descent and the past leaders of our country.
