Last year we launched the All Saints Aviation Club, an after-school STEM enrichment program for our second grade students. Aviation Club returns this fall with a session running from mid-October through early December. The club provides second graders with an opportunity to explore the inspiring world of flight through hands-on interactive demonstrations, crafts, and games.

Each session of the Aviation Club includes 18 students led by school parent Mrs. Briones, who earned her Masters of Aeronautical Science from Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University. Mrs. Briones actively applies her knowledge and experience in developing this engaging program. 

Topics covered in this eight-week mini-course include: four forces of flight – thrust, weight, drag, lift; main parts of a airplane; aviation terms; business aviation in action; and special aviation projects. The cost to participate is $30 per student.
