We plan to arrive about 2:00pm to meet with staff and faculty after school is dismissed at 2:30. There will be introductions - they are really interested in who WOW members are besides great role models. We (Nancy) will go over the activities, talk (Valerie) about the online information, and work out a plan for teachers to help with mapping the activities to Florida curriculum standards. Depart from Spruce Creek about 1pm and return about 5pm each day.
 * Wed Sept 7 and Wed Sept 14, we will be meeting with the teachers at Burns Science and Technology Charter School in Oak Hill to discuss the Come Fly With Me activities. This program for exploring Science through aviation and aerospace concepts is being put on the web so that it can be accessed and used by teachers everywhere. The Burns teachers will be using these activities and will be collaborating with WOW to make the online materials teacher-friendly.
