Fremont City Hall will host a ceremony to present  Federal, State, and City Proclamations Honoring Mr. Clyde Mann, a Science teacher at Warm Springs Elementary School in Fremont for his efforts to create a National Science Day. Educators and the public are welcome to attend on Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at 7:00 pm at the Fremont City Hall, 3300 Capitol Avenue, Fremont, CA 94538.

Following a twenty-two year career of teaching in junior and high school, Clyde Mann ventured to elementary school where he discovered the “insatiable curiosity” of young children.  He quickly worked to establish partnerships with higher education, industry and parent professionals, sharing his vision for expanding innovation and science with young children. Mr. Mann pitched the idea of a National Science Day and was surprised by the overwhelming show of support.

“It is my belief that the model created at Warm Springs Elementary school could be a model for elementary schools across the city of Fremont, throughout Alameda County, across the State, and throughout the nation.  And I would be more than happy to foster that process.”-Mr. Clyde Mann

“It is wonderful to hear that Mr. Mann’s advocacy on behalf of science education in our schools, along with his excellent work at school and in the community, is being acknowledged by city and state officials”—said Sheila Jordan, Superintendent of Alameda County Schools
