Dear Parents and students,

Last week the students had a blast playing on the simulator.  It is a bit difficult to get the hanf of.  Flying seems like it should be easy, but there are a few things (like making sure you don’t crash when you land) that can be a challenge!  They also had a few eggs survive the parachute challenge.  Unfortunately there were casualties as well! This week we will continue to look at aviation careers – specifically aircraft mechanics.
