We were honored yesterday with a visit from Captain Barry Wilmore, pilot of NASA Space Shuttle, Atlantis. He spent all morning and afternoon treating our students to a look at space from his perspective as well as taking many questions from his multiple audiences. Out of the thousands of requests NASA receives from schools across the country to send representatives to speak with their students, we were certainly ecstatic he chose to spend time with ours. Considering all of the work our third grades do for their annual Space Day year after year, and the Monarchs in Space venture our kindergarteners undertook this school year, this was a well-deserved honor for our faculty, staff, and children.
We invite you to visit our school very soon so that you can find our students' "out-of-this-world" work as displayed in the halls and foyer. From third grade creative writing pieces to kindergarten graphings of their Monarch control group versus the experimental group on Space Shuttle Atlantis, our students never fail to reach for the stars. Come share in our excitement of loving to learn!
