What happens when you have a mission to complete but your teammate gets hurt?
The Fireflowers started off the season with a team building activity. They were assigned a mission, on the Moon. They were paired up in teams of two. The only problem: their partner was hurt half way through the mission. They had to help their partner get to base at the same time completing the mission of collecting lunar rocks and bringing the science instruments to base (they had to pick up a shoe box). This was a three legged race and they could use only one of their arms/hands to pick objects. Communication between the teammates was crucial.
Great team work Fireflowers!!!

Though it is late in the game I wanted to add our last run! In April The Bronchos challenged each other as individuals to run the 26.2 miles it takes to total a marathon like the challenge in 26.2 with Tim! We had students and teachers running and walking around the playground, with their families at home, to and from school, and even during our reward time on Fridays! Many of us completed the challenge, and hundreds of miles were completed among the 125 Bronchos involved in Mission X. We will be presenting awards to those who completed 26.2 miles in our final awards ceremony this Friday at our school!

Thank you, NASA, for allowing us to participate in Mission X. We have learned so much and enjoyed training like an astronaut! We will see you next year!
