In the fifth grade at our Elementary School they have a program called "Wright Flight." The kids enter the program, set some academic goals, accomplish them, learn about flight, and when the program is complete, they get to CO-PILOT a small plane! How awesome is that!
This really was the highlight of Mandy's 5th grade career. She worked really hard to accomplish her academic goals and became a proficient reader in the process!
Flight Day was so cool! This picture does not show how excited she was or how proud she was of herself. She said she didn't even get air sick (which I was really nervous about). I was really impressed with all the volunteer pilots and staff. What a great program!
Thank you to all the Wright Flight Volunteers!
