Snowden Middle School

Mr. Mitchner:
Please extend our thanks to pilot Lloyd Knight for his visit to Snowden last week. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in your Aviation Week experience - this year, we had approximately 80 middle school students (gr. 6, 7, 8) signed up
to hear Mr. Knight speak about a career in aviation. These are students who specifically expressed an interest in becoming a pilot, or other careers in the aviation field.

Mr. Knight talked about all the different careers in aviation, as well as the skills necessary for these careers. He shared his background with students and answered many, many questions. He challenged students to spend more time on their studies and a little less time on the phone and computer! The Snowden Guidance Counselors appreciated his professional demeanor and presentation.


This visit, combined with FedEx Captain Quincy Fitzhugh's visit on our College and Career Day, has given our students a valuable insight into future opportunities and possibilities. Thank you for arranging both speakers and for supporting
Snowden's career programs.
