AICE GP-In class, those not testing had time today to work with their peers on memorizing their sonnets, performing them in various portions of the room and getting to have a presentation by our fantastic Aviation instructor about the unmanned aircraft (drone) program we offer here at Mandarin as a Dual Enrolled class with Embry Riddle University. Students can take this class to become certified Drone Pilots as well as possible scholarship opportunities to cover 90% of their tuition!
**Note: When I came in from testing during class MANY were not using this time wisely, I rarely give time in class for homework and seeing students not using it properly does not reflect on the potential for having it again in the future.**
