Contacting the space station – Peru Tribune

Students at Blair Pointe Elementary experienced a once in a lifetime opportunity last week as they were able to have a live chat with astronaut Shane Kimbrough, who is currently living and working abroad the International Space Station (ISS).

The assembly was held at the Peru High Schools auditorium where seats were filled by the third-through-sixth-graders as well as many community leaders who were in attendance.
