Annual Kids on the Hill Day will explore the disappearance of Amelia Earhart

Dana College’s annual day for local children will take a mysterious turn this year as participants will explore the disappearance of famed avaitrix Amelia Earhart. The day, Sept. 17, is chock full of great activities and fun for third through sixth graders.

Former gifted student instructor and current Dana Special Event and Conference Services Coordinator Lori Strohm is organizing what should be one of the best Kids on the Hill days in recent memory. Planned activities include a radio control airplane session with Omaha’s Western Flyers, a treasure hunt for clues to Earhart’s disappearance across campus with Education Department students, fun exploration of interactive web sites devoted to Earhart and a quest to trace her doomed attempt to fly across the globe.

Participants also receive a sack lunch and free admission to the Dana Football game against Dakota Wesleyan at 1 p.m.

Any student in third through sixth grade is invited to attend with their parents. The day runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with registration starting at 9:45 a.m. in front of Pioneer Memorial on Dana’s campus. Admission is just $5.
