Final Farewell

We've arrived back safe and sound. Everyone has been taken home and the buses have pulled out of King School. The students had a wonderful graduation. They even had the privilege of having Don Thomas, who is a four time shuttle astronaut, speak to them at graduation. He had a wonderful message for them about never giving up. Thanks to everyone who supported this trip and made it happen. A special thank you to all the chaperones who traveled to Alabama with us. It was an incredible trip.

Thursday

Our last day of camp was fantastic! Students had the opportunity to visit all their favorite outdoor simulators again. The space group completed a 3rd mission today. All robotics groups put the finishing touches on their robot for the competition tonight. Tonight all groups will compete in a Space Bowl and will also graduate. They have about another hour before graduation and another few hours before we load up to head home. We will give you a call as we pass over into Michigan from Ohio. See you all soon!

Pics and Update for Wednesday

As you can see by the pictures below, we had a very full day. Mrs. Haddas and Ms. Shah enjoyed riding Space Shot with the Robotics 4 group. For some reason, the students really enjoyed listening to them scream. Many groups had space missions, rocket launches, and more time on the simulators. The robotics groups continued working on their robots and are finding it a great challenge. Tomorrow will be a very full day! The kids will be going from 7 a.m. until we climb aboard the buses at 11 p.m. (midnight Michigan time). Looking forward to every last moment.
