Springs Homeschool student John Mora, who will be entering 4th grade in the fall, is a grand prize winner in the America 250 Field Trip Contest. Contest organizers stated that his “Shoot for the Stars!” entry “showcased a remarkable appreciation for our nation’s journey and future, standing out among thousands of participants nationwide.”
John’s award includes an all expenses paid 3-day trip to Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, Florida. He and a guest will receive a behind-the-scenes tour, a chance to ride the simulated space shuttle, a private look at the Gantry and launch complex 39, and a visit with a retired astronaut.
Last year’s winners included Emelynn Mora, John’s sister, a Homeschool student who will enter the 7th grade this fall, who submitted a “Stamps of America!” project. She opted for a trip to New York City.
