Lovely lunar landing. Astronomy teacher James Krug smiles as he operates the lunar landing module model. The model is located in the lobby of the Neil Armstrong Planetarium.

Club members in the Foreign Language and Astronomy club are set to take a walking field trip to Church in the Middle of the Block and Greenbean on Monday Mar. 17. 

“I think Astronomy field trips are fun because you’re given a lot of choices as to what you can do while it being educational,” member Lincoln Frank said.

Permission slips are due no later than Friday Mar. 14.

Hello! I am a senior and this will be my second year writing for the Mountain Echo.  At the publication I enjoy writing opinion stories and getting to know people’s stories throughout the interview and research process. Other than writing, I love reading, biking, running, listening to podcasts and being outdoors. Until then, I can’t wait to have another fantastic year writing for the Mountain Echo!

This is my third year on the newswriting staff. I mostly write opinion columns on topics that I find important. This year is my first year as an editor on staff. After high school, I plan on majoring in a business related degree and going onto law school to practice business law.
