Editor Visits John Marshall Elementary in Wausau

The 5th grade students at John Marshall Elementary School learned about the history of United States space exploration from the Executive Editor of the Wausau Daily Herald, Mark Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin was the guest of Sharon Ryan, a 5th grade teacher at John Marshall and the founder of the Dream Flight USA Foundation, and her teaching partner, Polly Hirn.


A Variety of Missions

The Dream Flight USA shuttle, the Spirit of Education, is available to schools and events throughout the year. From air shows and summer school classes, to space camps and community events, the shuttle has traveled to destinations throughout Wisconsin.

The shuttle is good for business, too. The Spirit of Education will be part of a grand opening celebration at JAG Equipment in Marathon this spring. Plans are in the works for the shuttle to appear in local parades this summer.

If you are interested in having the shuttle visit your school or event, please send an e-mail to dream@dreamflightusa.com


Open House Idea

After the school day is complete and the students have completed their mission on board the shuttle, invite the community to tour the Spirit of Education. The space suit, seen here, travels with the shuttle. It would be a perfect fit for an open house volunteer.

WOW! I had my class onboard today and the time just flew!! I knew it was great for the kids when I had time to realize that in over 2 hours, not one child asked to go to the bathroom!! When does that ever happen during a regular 2 hour time period?
