| Last year a few selected 8th
graders were chosen to go on the annual NASA trip. The students who wanted
to go had to write a letter saying how much they wanted to go on this trip
and how much they love math, science. They also had to get two teacher
recommendations and turn it in their science teacher. After a very long
wait, the office posted the list. 32 girls and six boys got to go. So to
control all these kids 17 chaperones were chosen to go as well. To prepare for this trip, the students had to raise money to pay for all the expenses. Then after the long summer and most of the school year, they were finally down to the last day. In the early morning about 2:00 am, (TOO EARLY!!!) the kids got on the school bus and went down to Sea-Tac airport. Then they got on a plane and flew an hour and half to San Jose. From there they met their super cool bus driver, Chuck. He drove the students around during their time in California. The first day was Thursday. They went to the Tech Museum of Innovation, Imax Theatre, Marine Science Institute and Laser Quest and pizza. Then on Friday they went to Pier 41. From there they caught a boat to Alcatraz. After that they went to the California Academy of Science, the Golden Gate bridge, the Exploratorium, Pier 39 for dinner. The following day was Saturday. They went to the San Andreas Fault-San Juan Batistia Mission, Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Santa Cruz Board walk which was FUN FUN FUN!!!!!! Finally it was Sunday. The students went to Stanford College. They spent the whole day there until 1:30 pm when they got on the plane and flew home... Follow the links below for pictures and stories.
