Skype with Canadian Astronaut Col. Chris A. Hadfield

Mme. Price's grade 6 class had the extreme pleasure of conversing via Sype with Col. Chris Hadfield on Friday January 28th. The students had the opportunity to ask Chris about what it was like to be in space, what kind of qualifications were required to be an astronaut and how he felt about his upcoming mission as commander of the International Space Station in 2012. Chris answered all of their questions and shared a very important message about going after your dreams and making the right choices to ensure that you can achieve all of your goals. It was truly an unforgettable experience!
