 ur
innovative educational programs have earned acclaim from many
quarters. Several times the Ohio State Legislature has praised our
members or our organization for our efforts to preserve aviation
history and educate young people. The Affiliate Societies (an
organization of science and engineering institutions) gave our
director, Nick Engler, a special award for his innovation in science
education. One of our pilots, Connie Tobias, was recognized by the
National Aeronautic Association for her efforts to inspire young
people. After we built and flew the 1902 Wright Glider that is the
center of our Secret of Flight program, every single
one of the students who helped build it received a
commendation from the State of Ohio.
More to the
point, we’ve been complimented by every school and institution we’ve
visited. Here are what a few educators have had to say:
"The school
was truly abuzz with word of your visit and marvelous Wright
brothers glider replica."
Suzanne
Weichselbaum,
Laison for Greenhill School
Dallas, Texas
"Teachers,
students, and administrators are still raving about the program.”
Susan
Smith, Director
Challenger Learning Center
Brownsburg, Indiana
"Your
rapport with the children was 'magical.'"
Susan
Coleman, Chairman
Indian Creek School
Crownsville, Maryland
"I had no
idea how much you touched the lives of our students until I read
through their notes to you."
Sheila
Faulkner,
Fifth Grade Teacher
Sugar Grove School
Frederick, Ohio
The best
commendations, however, come from the kids themselves. We’ve
received hundreds of letters and e-mails written under the watchful
eye of a teacher, telling us that we have really cool stuff (true)
and that they never knew the Wright brothers covered their airplanes
with women’s underwear (not quite true
-
they used a cotton weave that was favored for undergarments). But
our favorite letters all say something like this:
"I would
like to learn even more now."
Kathleen
Heit,
Fourth Grade Student
Indian Creek School
Crownsville, Maryland
