THANKS TO PALMER CATHOLIC ACADEMY FOR SHARING THIS STORY!
When the Adopt-A-Pilot classes were asked to brainstorm a creative way to say thanks to our "adopted Southwest Pilot Dick C., the options ranged from a simple thank you note to things he could put in an office or "where he works." After explaining his "office" changes every leg of a trip and to carry a gift from plane to plane wasn't practical, the class decided on a "Thank You Tie." It seemed a unique, practical, and creative way to say thank you.
Here is the picture of the student-designed tie for Pilot Dick C. to wear and enjoy! The bottom reads, "So Happy We (in red banner) Adopted A Pilot"....with the class signatures on the other side.
Our favorite class activity and learning experience was Southwest Pilot Dick C. explaining how airplanes fly by using a hair blow dryer and ping-pong ball and demonstrating Bernoulli's Principle. Talk about cool! He even taught us aviation-related terms such as lift, thrust, drag, and gravity. What fun!
Thanks Southwest and Pilot Dick C.!!!!
Sincerely....Ms. Corrigan and students
