As you may have heard from your child, our class is in the process of preparing to attend “Mission to Mars” on Thursday, April 26th at Weber State University.

Mission to Mars is a 5th grade program designed to inspire students to study STEM fields through exploring space travel.  Students prepare for a simulated manned mission to Mars through several classroom hands-on activities in the months leading up to “Link-Up-Day” where students will establish a colony of linked habitats on Mars.

To make this event successful, we need some parent volunteers to help us out. We will be doing a lot of preparation in class over the next several weeks, learning a saga and designing and building a life support system. Our class will be divided into two groups, and for each group we need at least one to two adults to help out. At the link-up day, the groups will be presenting to the judges and then putting together a habitat.

If you can volunteer, we will need you to come to the school on the following days to become familiar with your student group and their project.
  -Friday, April 13th from 10:20–11:30am
  -Friday, April 20th from 10:20–11:30am
 
I also will need you to commit to our culminating event at Weber State University. Please keep in mind that younger siblings will not be able to attend with you. This event is for fifth grade students only.
  -Thursday, April 26th   8:25–3:00pm

If you would be able to commit to these three days, we would love to have you come help. This is a really fun event and we are excited for the opportunity to attend.

Please let me know if this is something you are willing and able to do. The kids are getting excited! 🙂
