Take Flight

Hi Everyone,

LHS is changing to a new format for our newsletters, so I will also be using it for Take Flight updates going forward. This is my first one!

We had two great days of training on August 20 & 21, and our mentors successfully built a vertical stabilizer. Here are some photos from the day:

There are many people to thank:

• Dan Weyant from Tango Flight
• Jeff Rapsis, The Aviation Museum Board members, and staff from the NH Aviation Museum
• All of the mentors!
• Dave Robinson for taking on the inventory challenge
• Randy Britton for donating a flight simulator
• Sanka Kiridena for donating a shop vac
• Tom Moore and Bo Harwood who will be the co-teachers
• Superintendent Amy Allen for her ongoing support
• SAU 88 facilities director John Kerber - the hangar looks great!
• SAU Tech Director Tyler Schena and others who install the technology tomorrow
• Students Ben and James who stopped by during the training
• Everyone who has made a donation to support Take Flight. We are overwhelmed with the community support!
• Anyone I forgot - sorry.

The students return on Thursday, and the mentors will join us September 3rd to begin building the plane. We are so excited!

All the best,

Bonnie
