Count down to Space Camp...


We blast off to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama 2 weeks from today!  Remember we depart Potter Gray (front lot) at 10:30 am Sunday morning, March 5, do not park in the front loop unless it is on the left side or behind the charter bus. PLEASE be on time!! There will be a sign-in sheet to register your child for the bus.  It will also ask again about how your child will be getting home on Friday after graduation.  Graduation is at 9am CT in Huntsville.  Each student will need a sack lunch for the trip.  You must have plastic drinks with screw tops for the bus.  Please remember that left over snacks and food cannot be taken into the dorm/habitat and we will be staying in Habitat 2 this year, which are large dorm rooms with multi bunk beds and lockers.  I hope your camper has been working on their combination locks!  

D. Rod's t-shirt design was chosen by campers to be worn to Space Camp.  These t-shirts must be worn for admittance on the bus on Sunday.  A BIG THANK YOU to the Griffin & Stengell families for sponsoring the shirts.
