Delta safely in SLC
The Delta squadron arrived safely for dinner in the company of the Great Salt Lake. We are on schedule for our departure to JFK. Kids are happy and looking forward to seeing their parents. We'll update you if our status changes.
Meeting with St. Stephen's School
BC 8th graders had the opportunity to meet 4th and 5th graders from St. Stephen's School, a Bureau of Indian Affairs school, serving the Arapahoe and Shoshane communities in St. Stephen's, Wyoming. Interestingly, the meeting of these disparate schools can be traced to Istanbul, Turkey, where Ms. O'Brien and Mr. Agnor traveled with Dara Weller, a lead educator of St. Stephen's, on a Middle East Outreach trip in 2012.
In anticipation of our meeting, each school made short documentary films, which introduced the students and environs of our respective communities. Yesterday, students played football and elimination on the field and made forts on the hillside together. Later, students signed each other's t'shirts in the dining hall. Our students were challenged to keep up with these energetic and excited youngsters!

As of now the United/Denver group is delayed 45 minutes. We'll update the blog if the flight is delayed any later. Otherwise check the blog for arrival at LGA.
