Take the PAPA Challenger Challenge!
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012Dear Honored parents, students and staff.
The Public Academy for Performing Arts is pleased to announce that our local Albuquerque Challenger Center has offered to host PAPA’s honor students as a reward, and as a valuable learning experience for their scholarly achievement records. This is a first time opportunity for PAPA and the Challenger Center. The faculty and staff of PAPA are very honored to receive this distinction.
Teachers and students will travel to the Challenge Center via bus and conduct computer generation flights into the future of Space travel and exploration. New Mexico has a long and epic history of Space Endeavors. Los Alamos Labs, Sandia Labs, Spaceport America, Holoman Research Facilities, White Sands Missile Range and Kirtland AFB employ thousands of New Mexicans in Space related positions. Our students have shown by their attention to academics and arts that they are blending talent and intelligence into the next generation of citizens.
High School and Middle School Students who earn 3rd quarter honor roll, have a 95% or better attendance rate (including tardies), and no discipline referrals will be eligible to participate on April 26, 2012. If we have more qualifying students than the Challenger Center can accommodate, we will draw names to fill the spots. So, work hard and be in school for your chance to attend this exciting opportunity!
Questions about this event can be addressed with PAPA administration, 830-3128.
