XKAR

On Saturday we helped with a

rocket launch event

A friend of ours Jason

(in the hat)
is the man behind 

Xenia Kids and Robots

XKAR is a science and technology club
for school aged children.
It was started in 2009
with the mission to empower,
 inspire and motivate kids
to their highest potential
in the areas of
Science, Technology,
Character and Community
                                             

We got involved when Jason 

needed money to have a 

community event to give kids

 free rockets and lunch

We put out a challenge 

on FB to friends and  the community 

 if 10 people gave $50

my hsb would wear a kilt

and another friend would dress up

in a costume

unfortunately the costume

 had not been returned to the costume shop!

Well they ended up with 

enough money that

he bought 25 rockets

and the food was donated

We ended up with  30 kids

 that were not in the club

setting off rockets

The kids built the rockets

and the adult stuffed the engines in 

and set them up

The kids got to push the button

to launch it and then 

run after it when it came down

It was such a great day   
this smile says it all 
                                                                                                                                       

I love when a community gets 

together to do positive

things for our youth!
