"Mole Day" at Bolton High School Each year since 2006, the Bolton Community Education Foundation has awarded a grant to Bolton High School chemistry teacher Joe Jankowski to help fund "Mole Day," an annual science event celebrated on a date that corresponds to a numerical chemistry value. The 2009 grant was for $277.15. Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., Mole Day commemorates Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 10^23), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry. Schools around the world celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles.Here's a photo from 2009 Mole Day, with teacher Joe Jankowski (at right) and some of his BHS chemistry students:
