Congratulations to Sheree' L. Kearns, the facilities director of the Challenger Learning Center at Kirby-Smith Middle, who recently received two notable recognitions.
Kearns was selected in the Top Stars Program at NASA, which invited K-12 and post-secondary educators to submit their best examples of using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope for science, technology, engineering or mathematics education. Two of the lessons that Ms. Kearns submitted were chosen to be featured on NASA's website for educators around the world to use as a resource. To view these lessons, visit the Top Stars Web site.
Kearns also received the Challenger Center President's Award for hard work and dedication leading to exceptional achievement in the Challenger Learning Center network.
The award was presented to her by Dr. June Scobee Rodgers, the wife of Astronaut Dick Scobee who commanded the Space Shuttle Challenger 51-L mission which was lost on Jan. 26, 1986, and by Daniel Barstow, President of Challenger Center and retired NASA space shuttle astronaut.
According to Kearns, "Going the extra astronomical unit to get our students excited about math, science, engineering and technology is always worth the hard work."
Congratulations, Ms. Kearns, for your wonderful accomplishments!
