Don't forget to get your shirt! These will arrive the first week of August! McCool Academy Astronauts were assigned the task to design an astronaut patch that represented our school and the impact that Shuttle Columbia had on our lives. Before designing the patch, our astronauts learned about Shuttle Columbia and Commander William C. McCool through a video and class discussion. Each learner had to answer the following questions: " How did the Astronauts on Shuttle Columbia impact the world forever? How did they impact you as a person? If you could tell the astronauts one thing, what would you tell them?" This year's patch design is available for purchase! Please see the image or below to purchase your very own student designed shirt! https://gogandy.com/mccool-spirit24
Last week a handful of our Astronauts performed The Prince and the Pauper hosted by Lubbock ISD! So many amazing performances AND even a special treat of having our very own Theatre teacher Ms. Bennett as a camp facilitator!!! 🎭🎥📸🚀 #Theatre #WeAreLubbockISD

Yesterday, at the TTU STEM Challenge, we started our selected Astronauts boat building journey. 🚤 Using different models and research, the McCool students improved their designs, problem solved, and worked collaboratively! 10.2 second to travel 3 feet, down to 1.2 seconds, their second attempt! Way to go Astronauts! 🚀👩🚀
