Snow won't stop the Mars Rover -* Perseverance*. What an appropriate name!

- **Space Science and the Mars Rover Landing: **This is a big month For space science! ***The Perseverance Rover*** is scheduled to land on Mars today February 18th. The Rover launched last summer as part of NASA's Mars 2020 Mission. ***Perseverance's*** primary mission is to collect evidence, like rock and soil samples, to help scientists determine if there's ever been life on Mars.[ Check out this link as Science Buddies has put together a handy collection of stem ideas](https://www.sciencebuddies.org/blog/mars-science-lessons?from=Newsletter) to help you connect today’s rover landing to your classroom instruction.  Check this out you won't want to miss it.
- **I have been told that this will be recorded as well and then the recording added to DE and/or sent to the staff that registered. Make sure you register even if you plan on watching the recording. ** 
- This exciting event will engage your students with an out-of-this-world experience and give them an inside look at the mission.
