The Team USA "Game-Show contestants" were chosen from all three schools making up Team USA Sharon. NASA had a surprise for our marimba band teacher, Mr. Tarantino. The video showing MX highlights for this year was done to last year's Grade 5 Heights marimba band playing their song appropriately named "Gravity".
Kudos to "Mr T" and the Heights marimba band!

Nice job Jeff, Andrea, Don, Laurie, Michael H. and Dr. Michael Barratt!!!!

PS Laurie and Yamil "burned up" the astro- agility course, we could see the smoke all the way up here in New England!!!!!

Our live closing ceremony was a huge success for Team USA Sharon held at Heights Elementary School last Friday, March 22nd. We had many important guests here to visit, including the grand-nephew of President John F. Kennedy, Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy, 3rd! In addition to the Congressman, we had several state and local officials who took time from their busy schedules to join us for the afternoon. We are most grateful for all of these important people who showed their appreciation to Team USA and NASA. Thank you for all of your support and kind words!

We had lots of fun, and astronaut Dr. Michael Barratt played a game-show host like the popular American television game "Jeopardy!" We had so much fun, and it was a very festive afternoon that was complete with our marimba band providing live music!

Pupils at Springside Primary School, Bury, supported by staff from The Derby High School, Bury enjoy a fantastic climax to the Mission X project by spending a whole day at The Derby High School, Bury. Pupils participated in the astro agility course, they built their astronaut core, and they jumped for the moon before participating in mission control. If this wasn’t enough, pupils also looked at hydration and the importance placed on this by all astronauts.
Following lunch pupils entered deep space, watching the DVD spectacular; Space Station. The finale of the day was their graduation ceremony, where pupils received certificates. At the end of the ceremony specially selected pupils received awards for communication, athletic ability, scientific aptitude and two winning astronaut trainees were given Mission X T-shirts. Well done to everyone who took part.
