Mrs. Adkins' 3rd-grade Enrichment group at Bailey Elementary had a special guest from NASA.  Mr. Chad Brown, a Bailey Elementary Alumni and spent time with these twenty-two very excited students on Monday afternoon.  Mr. Brown talked to the students about the many amazing discoveries as well as plans NASA has for humans to visit the moon again, as well as future plans for visiting Mars.  Students learned more about the many opportunities that they too could someday have for working for such a great program.  The third graders were reminded that it takes a team of very passionate and focused people with skills relating to many of the following topics: welding, food science, physical fitness, social media, geology, space design, graphic design, flight control, construction, inventors, and more to make each mission a success!  Mr. Brown's enthusiasm and visual demonstrations helped the students get a much better understanding of the importance of space travel as well as the many facets of the planning process.    

As Mr. Brown completed his special presentation, the students were extra excited to receive special items from NASA.  Mrs. Adkins and her students enjoyed the wealth of information Mr. Brown shared during his special presentation and are so thankful for this unique learning opportunity.
