Students excel on Young Astronaut Day

Westlake students attending the Birchwood School in Cleveland met with success in the annual Young Astronaut Day at the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center on Nov. 3. The fifth- and sixth-graders, from left, Olivia Savona, Megan Stewart, Farah Sayed and Christopher Haddad, competed in challenges designed to stimulate an interest in engineering and aeronautics. Participants were divided into teams of 10-12, and the Westlakers' teams were among the top three finishers in their assigned challenges.
