NASA Explorer School
In 2003, Crossroads-Science was selected as one of 50 elementary schools across the country to be part of a three-year partnership in the NASA Explorer School (NES) program. NES offered professional development; grant funds for the purchase of technology tools; access to NASA curriculum materials; and exciting learning opportunities for our students.
2008 - As an alumni school, we have continuing opportunities to participate in some unique and powerful experiences, including this year's Reduced Gravity Flight. Ms. Pengra, Ms. Martha, Ms. Marni, and Ms. Janet will be flying on Wednesday, February 6 to Johnson Space Center to conduct student experiments on board NASA's reduced gravity flight.
International Space Station(ISS) Live Video Downlink!
Thursday February 17, 2005 at 6:00 - 7:00am, Crossroads Elementary ISS Downlink will be featured on KARE TV - Channel 11's segment "What's Cool in Our School?" Thanks Ms. Kim and Mr. Tom from KARE 11 for coming to visit our school during this special time!

The Educational Downlink was a success! 15 students were able to ask questions and Expedition 10 Crew answered them loud and clear! This was a moment we will never forget!

Crossroads Elementary Science is the first school in the state of Minnesota to have a live video downlink with the ISS! The countdown is on!!!


The ISS was a wonderful way to inspire the next generation of explorers as only NASA can!
