When Students Fly

by Emmasae Hallen

Students flying? Do they have wings? No..... Do they have jets? No...... Do they have Mr. Bolduc to teach them to fly a plane? YES! 


Aviation Club, which is run by the fantastic Mr. Bolduc, it is almost over and there is only one more meeting to go, June 15th. Mr. Bolduc wants to set up a field trip for the club to go to a Young Eagles meet sometime this month.
 
What is Young Eagles? Young Eagles is a program that if you are between the ages of 8 and 17 years old, wants to offer you the chance of the lifetime. Learn more at http://www.youngeagles.org 

 
Did you know that Aviation club is open to ALL kids.?The club has had kids that were home schooled and even kids is 3rd and 4th grade. This year he has one 5th grader, three 6th graders, one 7th grader and three 8th graders. “They can come when they want,” Mr. Bolduc said, “I know they have sports and things so if they can't make it than thats fine with me.” 

 
Aviation Club introduces the principles of flight, and puts students in the cockpit with Microsoft Flight Simulator. “It's a great experience for learning the techniques of flight,” Levi Clark said. 


So join Aviation Club, students really can fly.
