From Africa to the Moon (and beyond!)

This past Friday was a very busy day at WCFS! In the morning, Kindergarten presented the annual African Market, showcasing all that they have learned about African geography, animals, clothing, food, customs, art, music and games. The students were assigned to their stations and answered questions put to them with great confidence!

And then it was on to outer space (at least virtually) with NASA Astronaut Marsha Ivins, a veteran of five space shuttle missions. Marsha gave an extremely engaging presentation to the entire school as well as guests from Goshen Friends School and Chester County Family Academy about the history and future of US space missions. She also visited classes during the afternoon. Marsha said that she hopes to spark the kind of excitement in today's students that many felt when the Apollo missions went to the moon. Judging by the reaction of her audience, I think she succeeded. Many thanks to T. Alice for arranging this special event.
