Roxhill Elementary 3rd graders had a surprise Tuesday, Nov. 15 thanks to Ralph Davis of the Seattle Rotary Club, and former NASA astronaut John Creighton. Mr. Davis and the Rotary Club gifted each 3rd grader with a dictionary, pens and pencils.

Mr. Creighton offered official autographed NASA photos. The students listened to Mr. Creighton describe life in space and hurriedly looked up words like shuttle, launch, and space station.

As third grader Victor G. reported, “I got a dictionary of my very own, and I met an astronaut! This is the best day of my life!”
