'This is due to the efforts of many in our region, but we could not have done it without the community coming together for the students in our Johnson City schools,' Aldridge said in a news release. 'SPELL-A-BRATION 2025 itself brought twenty-three teams from various schools and businesses together for that fun evening at Science Hill High School. In addition, we had a great deal of local support from sponsors.'
The mobile planetarium will travel throughout Johnson City elementary and public schools.
