STUDENT SIGNATURES IN SPACE ASSEMBLY TUESDAY, MAY 27TH  8:00 AM

Robert Abbott Middle School has been selected by NASA and Lockheed Martin to participate in the Student Signatures in Space (S3) program.  S3 provides students the opportunity to send their digitized signatures into space by signing a special school-wide Student Signatures in Space Poster.  Through the signing of the poster, the students should feel a personal involvement with the crew and the mission of the October 2008 flight.  This is an awesome opportunity to get students excited about space, technology and science in general.  Abbott science classes will follow the signature mission from launch to landing this October.  A school-wide assembly will be held to commemorate this exciting event.

Teachers:  We would like the following from you.

• Select one student from each science classroom to represent that class in the activities at the assembly.
• First period teachers:  Friday afternoon we will put tickets in your mailbox.  Tuesday, May 27th before the assembly, please give each student one ticket.  The tickets should be brought to the assembly by the students.
• At 7:30am we need you to turn on Channel One.  There will be a special "launch sequence" video played to set-up the program.
• Please remind students about their appropriate behavior. Dr. Batiste will speak at 8:00am so all students must be seated by then.  8th grade in south bleachers, 7th grade north bleachers, 6th grade on floor at east end of the gym.
• After speaker, some students will participate in activities.
• Poster will be brought to science classes for signatures during the rest of the week.
