Mission Control at Jordan Hills prepared the newest set of recruits for their voyage to Planet Kindergarten. This space-themed program is designed to help students achieve their literacy goals during their first year of school, starting with the objective of knowing all letters and their sounds by November 1.
To help the young astronauts reach for the stars, the Jordan Hills administration and Superintendent Anthony Godfrey dressed as astronauts, while kindergarten teachers wore green and donned alien headbands. Principal Lansford led the kindergarten classes in a reading of the book Planet Kindergarten and held a mission briefing on their reading goals for the school year. The students suited up with hand-decorated space helmets and embarked on their voyage, cheered on by Jordan Hills sixth graders, staff, and parents.
