Mr. Fluery, the Earth and Space science teacher, inspires many students. His love for space science and his interesting stories always make class interesting. When a teacher is passionate about a topic, it doesn’t seem like work, and this is quite evident in his class.

Last year, Mr. Fluery entered a contest for an opportunity to travel into space. Science teachers from all over the country entered, and the one with the most overall votes would win the trip of a lifetime. Everyone was so excited about the possibility that our science teacher may travel to outer-space.

Mr. Fluery didn’t win the contest, but he took a chance to follow a dream. As a result, he inspired many students to dream big. He taught me that winning isn’t always everything; sometimes it’s the journey. Mr. Fluery has shown us that the sky is truly the limit!
