Persevering Students Receive Messages from Mars (2nd Opportunity)

April 05, 2022

Twenty students, along with parents, teachers, and classmates, met virtually with NASA Mars Perseverance team members to celebrate the students' participation in the "You've Got Perseverance" campaign. The students, who have overcome academic obstacles, were honored for their can-do attitude with personalized messages from the Perseverance Mars rover, and had a chance to ask questions of the team.
