Boise is blessed with a plethora of celebrated individuals, but none more gracious and down to earth (please excuse the pun) as Barbara Morgan.
Riverstone students in Grades 2 – 10 heard about how Barbara, previously a teacher in McCall and Quito, Ecuador, became an Astronaut. Working with NASA since 1985 Barbara became a “Teacher in Space” in 2007.
Sitting still for over an hour is not something younger children can usually do. Between 10:30 and 11:45 today, you could hear a pin drop as Barbara showed the students her slides, videos and talked about her amazing experiences.
Thank you Barbara!
Barbara’s visit was sponsored by a generous parent through the Make a Wish foundation.
