Atlantis’ 2018-2019 School Advisory Council! By law, every school in Florida must have a School Advisory Council (SAC). This council consists of teachers, support personnel, parents, and community members. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the council must be composed of parents and/or com-munity members not employed by the school. This council, which meets monthly, assists in making recommendations on how our school operates. Our SAC exam-ines all aspects of our school when developing the school improvement plan, and participates in efforts to encourage support for the goals and activities of the school. We accepted parent nominations from 8/24/18-8/31/18, and voting by parents occurred from 9/4/18 through 9/11/18. I am happy to share with you that the majority of votes approved the following parent candidates to serve on our Council: Tiffany Bevel, Mindy Brigante, Basil Brown, CJ Burns, Joan Caracciolo, Kara Jones, Karla Smith, Patricia Needham, Steve Needham, Kevin Shropshire and DeLisa Webster

Visit with a real astronaut, touch space history, enjoy the thrill of a virtual reality roller coaster, and see Mars and Saturn through a telescope at the American Space Museum’s free “Smithsonian Museum Day” Saturday, Sept. 22 from 10 am-10 pm. The Titusville museum will host a day of exciting events. A meet-and-greet with astronaut Mike McCulley, who was the pilot of STS-34, which deployed the Galileo spacecraft to Jupiter from the Shuttle cargo bay. He later became presi-dent and CEO of United Space Alliance, the contractors that launched the Shut-tles. Throughout the day, young and old can enjoy the Rilix virtual reality roller coaster simulator and learn about Mars from a NASA Solar System Ambassador. That evening you can observe Mars and Saturn through telescopes in the American Space Museum parking lot. The Smithsonian Museum Day across American focuses on “Women Who Made History,” and ASM will have a special exhibit “Women of Space” for the occasion

Throughout the day docent led tours of the museum will highlight the arti-facts in the museum’s collection. These include actual interactive Apollo and Shuttle consoles, hardware from the blockhouse at Pad 36A that launched hun-dreds of Atlas-Centaur rockets, items from the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, rare spacecraft models and lots more in our galleries dedicated to NASA’s manned space program and the contractors who made the space pro-gram a reality. ASM is pleased to welcome NASA’s Solar System Ambassador, Tyler Hines, who will be talking about NASA’s plan for the exploration of Mars. Kids of all ages will enjoy watching a “comet” created before their eyes by Mark Marquette, who heads up our astronomy program. An Urban Stargazing in the ASM parking lot will begin at 7 pm, with the Moon, and three planets visible through telescopes of various sizes. Bring the family and see the m oons of Jupiter , r ings of Saturn and surface of Mars! The Museum is a non-profit 501(c)3 located 308 Pine St. in downtown Ti-tusville.
