Purdue Astronaut to Visit Edgelea
I am very happy to announce that Edgelea has been selected to have a Purdue Astronaut visit our school. This coincides with Purdue Homecoming and the conclusion of the 150 Years of GIANT LEAPS Celebration happening on the Purdue Campus. There will be 12 astronauts visiting schools throughout Tippecanoe, West Lafayette, and Lafayette School Corps.
Major General Roy D. Bridges (Aeronautics and Astronautics '85) will visit on Thursday, Oct. 10 from 9:30-10:45. He will do one presentation that is scheduled to last for one hour. (I did request two 30 minute presentations, but was denied.) He will have a power point with his presentation. I will need input from kdg. and 1st grade teachers regarding if your children will be able to sit through this long of a presentation.
Here is a website you can visit for a bit of background information and bio information on Roy Bridges. This will assist in the preparation: https://www.purdue.edu/space/astronauts.php.
He will do a question and answer section, but we are to have students questions prepped and ready before hand.
I am hosting a planning committee for this great event. If you would like to be on the committee, come to our planning meeting on Wednesday, September 18 from 3:05-3:15.
