 Dear OLF Parents,

Mardi Gras Masquerade!

The Auction is ONLY 17 days away! 

 

OLF and NASA

 

 

 Our Lady of Fatima Parish School will be receiving one of the 7,000 space shuttle heat shield tiles that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is giving away to schools and universities across the nation.

 

 With the shuttle program slated to end next year, NASA said the offer was made to "preserve the program's history and inspire the next generation of space explorers, scientists and engineers."

 

There are more than 20,000 heat shield tiles on a shuttle. They protect the spacecraft from extreme temperatures when it reenters the Earth's atmosphere. Like most of the space shuttle, some of the tiles were developed and manufactured in Southern California. Rockwell Manufacturing Co. made the lightweight ceramic-fiber tiles at its Palmdale facility.

 

One tile will be coming home to southern California and finding a home in the science lab at Our Lady of Fatima Parish School. The tile will be presented to the students at the morning assembly on March 21st. Please join us for this exciting event. The space shuttle will be framed and on permanent display in the science lab.
