Spring 2010 picture day: (April 14, 2010)  We thank Bobbi for her time, effort and skills (skill with the camera and skill herding 33 kids), and all our parents for making sure the girls wore their uniforms. Here are a couple of the photos: our "official" group on top, our "crazy" group below. You can click on either thumbnail to view a full-size picture.

"Winter Bomb" tournament: (February 21, 2010)  We congratulate all the girls for their effort, skill and enthusiasm in our (first annual?) Winter Bomb tournament. Team Bachman won the Atlanta Beat division championship, with team Heath finishing as runners up. Team O'Reilly won in a PK shootout over team Chalupny to claim the WPS division championship. All the girls earn a big "Yeah Baby!"

Spring 2009 - Lassiter field trip:  We thank the girls and their families for taking on the wet weather and coming out to watch the Lassiter Trojans girls varsity team play Woodstock. The game featured a bunch of NASA Academy alumni on both teams, while halftime featured current Academy girls playing a mini-game. Here are a couple of shots of our Academy girls hanging out with some of their NASA "sisters" post-game.
