<a href="https://jr-ranger.org/2026/angira-30a1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Angira as a young Jr. Ranger Contestant raising funds for National Wildlife Federation</a>Dear readers,

Hi! My name is Angira Bhattacharya and I’m an 8-year-old from our community who is working on something really important to me, and I’d love to share my story with you.

I am participating in the Jr. Ranger 2026 competition, where I’m raising money for the National Wildlife Federation. Votes help me move forward, and when people choose the paid voting option, they are also donating to NWF and helping protect animals and nature.

I truly love nature . I think it’s full of wonder, beauty, and magic. This campaign is giving me a chance to do something real to help animals, learn more about the environment, and grow as a young changemaker. For me, it’s not just about winning a title , it’s about making a difference.

If I win, I will also receive $20,000, and I want to give back by sharing it with West District Elementary School, my town library , which helped me learn so much about animals, and the Farmington land trust for maintaining the beautiful trails and hikes in my area.

I also love dancing ballet and jazz, and playing soccer. It is fun scoring goals and being part of a team!

I hope my story can inspire others in our community to care about animals and nature. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Secret Supper Society: An Evening of Fine Dining &amp; Impossible Magic
Step into a hidden world where elegance meets the unexplainable.
The Secret Supper Society is not just a dinner—it’s an experience.
Guests will enjoy a refined, multi-course dining experience in an intimate setting, paired with astonishing, up-close magic and mentalism performed just inches away. This is not stage magic. This is interactive, impossible, and deeply personal.
Throughout the evening, you won’t just watch the magic… you’ll feel it.
Expect moments that spark laughter, disbelief, and genuine connection as reality bends right in front of you.
This is an experience designed for those who appreciate the finer things—exceptional food, great company, and unforgettable moments.
Seating is extremely limited to preserve the intimacy of the evening.
If you’re looking for something different… something elevated… something you’ll be talking about long after it ends—
This is your invitation.UPDATE: These shows have been sold out. We'll keep everyone posted on further dates. We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday night.

S.P.A.R.K.&nbsp;stands for&nbsp;Science. Play. Action. Research. Knowledge,&nbsp;and that’s exactly what the morning is all about. Students will dive into interactive labs, ask big questions, and explore how science connects to the world around them.

Snack Science: Cracking the Code of Carbs, Fats &amp; Proteins
Students will test everyday foods to uncover the building blocks of life - carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
From Cabbage to Chemistry: A Color-Changing Exploration of pH
Using red cabbage as a natural indicator, students will experiment with acids and bases and watch chemistry come alive in vibrant color.
Air Apparent: The Invisible Force All Around Us
Through hands-on experiments, students will explore the properties of air—and discover just how powerful something invisible can be.
