It's very exciting and the students will be working in small groups to prepare for the tour, recording and collating information throughout the visit.

Our tour leaders were quick to point out to the students that New Horizons will arrive at Pluto in the year 2015. Our third graders will be seniors in high school when this mission reaches its ultimate goal.

Students should be prepared for anything to happen over the next year.

We joked that the first floor students had to wear hard hats.

We need to make those services uniform across the state and provide services students need in a uniform fashion. I don't know that that is happening now, and I don't know if that means closing Iowa Braille. It does mean asking what the role of the Vinton school should be.

Administrators strongly favor geography; students strongly favor choice.
