Hello Troops,
We are happy to announce, and in the same post congratulate, Sheila Powell - teacher extraordinaire at the Space Education Center on her accomplishment. Mrs. Powell has been officially upgraded, certificated, renewed and licensed (with an endorsement in geography) to teach K-8 grade in Utah. This is a level II certificate (she already has a level I certificate). This makes her a "Highly Qualified" educator that knows not only how to teach....but, according to Sheila, "how to jump through the numerous and tangled hoops of governmental licensing departments & their discombobulated websites....shesh."
Sheila and Lorraine, our two classroom instructors, are the very essence of awesomeness. They teach and entertain hundreds of students weekly and are still sane enough to appear normal in public. Be sure to congratulate Sheila (The Saint of Lehi) when you see her next. Bowing and ring kissing is optional but appreciated.
Mr. Williamson
Many congrats! We are so spoiled to have all of you at the Space Center and at Central! Thanks for being "highly qualified", but more importantly, thanks for being "highly concerned" teachers when it comes to our kids! As parents, I don't think we tell you enough how much we appreciate all you do for our kids! We are lucky to have you.

I am an avid reader of this blog. It's so great to hear news about your teachers and the simulators. I was reading the other day, and read something about a new Galileo being built at BYU? Is this true? If so, tell us more about it!

Jumping through hoops is right- I'm graduating in Elementary Education this Spring- so WAY TO GO SHEILA!

I've known Sheila was awesome for a long time, but now that she has managed the various hoops to become "high qualified" it is official.
