Huge shoutout to Ms. Prenot and Ms. Levering for creating School Wide Learning Outcome Lessons for Networking! Astronauts have had so much fun with their projects and we are so glad that we could end it with McCool Olympics and a cup stacking challenge!

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
