Students, staff, and families at the La Fe Preparatory School were proud to welcome Astronaut John “Danny” Olivas, PhD, PE to their campus this morning for a special presentation on science, math, and space. Olivas, a graduate of Burges High School and of the University of Texas at El Paso, spent the morning talking to La Fe’s nearly 200 Pre-K through third-grade students, their teachers, and families. Olivas shared video of his spacewalks, two space missions, and of life aboard a space shuttle. Our students and teachers are grateful to Olivas and to Congressman Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas for helping us to coordinate this fabulous educational event. |

About La Fe Preparatory School |
Students Will Excel in School
 The La Fe Preparatory School is a small campus with 128 students in Pre-Kindergarten-2nd Grade. We will add one grade each year until we reach the school’s full capacity of 224 students in PK-5th grade.
CLASS SIZE: Small classes of no more than 16 students allow each child to receive individual and personalized attention.
DUAL LANGUAGE: Students will graduate with the ability to communicate socially, academically, and professionally in both Spanish and English by participating in a dual language immersion program. Developing both languages enhances students’ higher order thinking skills rather than teaching them the simple acquisition of basic English speech and vocabulary.
