Visit us for STEAM Day on March 6, where your students will find engaging science, technology, engineering, art and math hands-on activities as they explore the Indiana State Museum. Students also will find a special bonus in the Education Center for a design challenge that complements our Cardboard Engineering experience. Students will have a real-world challenge to solve using low cost/recycled materials. STEAM Day is great for schools looking for interactive learning opportunities but who may be too large for a field trip workshop. There is limited space so register early! Contact Krystle Mangan at 317.509.7679 or kmangan@indianamuseum.org to schedule a STEAM Day field trip. Cost: $6 per student/$2 per chaperone, free for teachers.
VANDERBURGH HUMANE SOCIETY TO SELL “CUDDLEGRAMS†AS FUNDRAISER FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
Who needs the same ol’ bouquet of flowers on Valentine’s Day when you can send your sweetheart puppy breath? For the first time, the Vanderburgh Humane Society will sell Cuddlegrams for Valentine’s Day. Each Cuddlegram will be delivered to the recipient’s workplace or home on Thursday, February 14th and includes:
- small box of Libs chocolates
- personalized card
- three red roses
- And most importantly: a 30-minute cuddle session with a puppy, a kitten, or a rabbit.
Pricing starts at $50 for a Bunnygram, followed by $75 for a Kittengram and $100 for a Puppygram. Proceeds after expenses benefit the Vanderburgh Humane Society’s mission.
Grams must be purchased directly through the VHS Development Office by:
- Phone: (812) 426-2563 ext. 218
- Email: events@vhslifesaver.org
- In person Tuesday-Friday 10 am – 5 pm
This is to ensure that there are available animals to fulfill the Grams. Only a limited number will be available based on the number of animals, so don’t wait! Payment is due at the time of purchase using cash, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. Cuddlegram sales will end on Monday, February 11th to allow for preparation time.
VHS staff and volunteers will be hand-delivering the Cuddlegrams. “Our lips are sealed;†all Cuddlegrams will be kept confidential to preserve the element of surprise. Secret marriage or prom-proposals can be arranged for an additional $25 fee.
Those sending Cuddlegrams are strongly encouraged to verify with the recipient’s place of employment that animals are allowed on the premises. There will be no refunds issued. VHS staff and volunteers are fully insured and will take responsibility for any messes.
Cuddlegrams will only be delivered to locations in Vanderburgh County, Newburgh, Princeton, or Mt. Vernon, Indiana.

Eagles rocket by the Hawks, 78-56
The Eagles took the lead 5-4 on a jumper by senior guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) at 17:52 of the opening half and never looked by before taking a 37-29 lead into the intermission. Stein would score 14 points in the opening half, hitting five of his first six shots, as the Eagles led for over 18 of the first 20 minutes.
USI led by as many as 10 points twice during the first stanza before settling for the eight-point, 37-29, advantage at the break. The Eagles shot 50 percent in the first half (15-30), 33.3 percent (3-9) from long range.
After scoring the last four points of the first half, the Eagles scored the first 10 points of the second half for a 14-0 run to take a commanding 47-29 lead with 16:44 left to play. USI was a blistering five-of-seven from the field during the 14-0 run and was led by sophomore forward Emmanuel Little (Indianapolis, Indiana), who scored have of the points in the run.
The Eagles continued to extend the margin to as many as 28 points, 68-40, on a three-point bomb by sophomore guard Mateo Rivera (Indianapolis, Indiana) with 7:49 to play. Quincy would shrink the USI lead to 18 points, 74-56, in the final minutes before the Eagles closed out the 78-56 victory.
As a team, USI shot 51.7 percent from the field (31-60), 36.8 percent from beyond the arc (7-19), and 50 percent from the stripe (9-18). The Eagles also won the battle on the glass with a 31-29 margin.
Individually, Stein led five players in double-digits with 19 points, adding eight in the final 20 minutes. Little followed with 15 points and completed his fourth double-double of the season with a team-high 10 rebounds.
Rivera, sophomore forward Josh Price (Indianapolis, Indiana), and senior guard/forward Nate Hansen (Evansville, Indiana) rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11 points each in the victory.
