This was such a great experience! 🚀
Today we welcomed Mark Kelly to Forest Lake!
He toured our campus, learned about our NASA integration, and shared his experiences with our students. Such an inspiring moment for our future explorers! 🚀

12 hours after getting off a plane from the MSA conference in San Diego, I was at Coastal Carolina with the Scholars sophomores for the state round of National History Day where we won several awards. These kids keep me motivated every day. I’m lucky to have them!
