Feedback
"It was a great experience and I'm glad that Central San has
decided to bring this tradition back as many jobs do not offer
it."
"You all did a great job. Activities like these and
people like yourselves is what makes Central San a
great family to be a part of. My niece is already
asking about next year on the drive home. Thank you
so much for an interactive way to show the young
folks what we do and have some fun"
"There were many smiles floating around here today!"
"This was super well -organized event! I know that
the lab felt that grouping the kids up was a great idea
and made the lab portion much more organized and
easier to handle. I am sure the kids benefited from it
as well and were able to focus more on the hands-on
lab activities. Thank you so much for the solid
organization!"
"Very informative and educational."
"Thank you and all the volunteers for such a wonderful
day. The great new stations and all the activities were
truly enjoyed. Kids and staff had the best time!
Congratulations on such a successful event!"
"It is a fun day for my boy to come and enjoy Dad's work.
He looks forward to it every year and remembers a lot
about it"
