(ROCKWALL ISD-May 20, 2013) Doris Cullins Lake Pointe Elementary 5th graders recently participated in the Southwest Airlines adopt-a-pilot program with pilot Kevin Watts.
Watts visited the 5th graders in March and May and shared valuable lessons with them that related to Social Studies, Reading, Math, and Science. He communicated to the students the importance of education and exposed them to careers in the military and commercial airlines.
The students had fun learning to land planes and enjoyed airplane pretzels. They used the principles of F.L.I.G.H.T.: Fearlessness, Leadership, Imagination, Gratitude, Honesty, and Tenacity and created acrostic poems relating these traits to historical figures.
