TUNE IN ALERT: CUBES IN SPACE LAUNCH!

Katie Botha • June 19, 2023

Our amazing students are doing it again! One Saint Mary’s Cubes in Space experiment will be among 80 student projects on a NASA sounding rocket that will be launched into space on Thursday, June 22nd from Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

A livestream will begin 15 minutes before the planned 5:30 a.m. launch time on the Wallops YouTube channel. The Wallops Visitor Center will be open for launch viewing at 4:30 a.m.

Our Rocket Club & Cubes in Space members have been working hard the past several weeks preparing for Rocketfest 2023 at NASA Wallops Island Flight Facility. Students have created displays for the expo and have worked on slide presentations where they will be sharing about their current and prior experiments to an audience of over 300 including NASA executives and engineers and other aerospace professionals.

Join us in wishing a safe trip to Mr. Tlusty and six Saint Mary’s families making the week-long trip to Wallops Island!

More information about this initiative is also featured on NASA’s website.

Faithful Citizenship Resources In anticipation of Election Day on November 5, the Virginia Catholic Conference has prepared voter education resources to help Catholics confidently vote with an informed conscience. Those resources can be found on the Catholic Diocese of Richmond's website . School Day Reminders This year, Election Day is a regular school day with a regular bell schedule at Saint Mary's Catholic School. In prior years, it has coincided with Parent-Teacher Conferences resulting in a day-off for students; however, that is not the case this school year. Many of our students across all grade levels are aware of the importance of Election Day. We anticipate the days leading up to Election Day and those following it will provide topics of conversation that students may choose to engage in both inside and outside the classroom. If necessary, our teachers may offer age-appropriate explanations of the day's events and results. As family members, we encourage you to guide your children as they navigate their thoughts and feelings over the coming weeks and months.
