October 22, 2015/in The Farragut Experience /by Jessica Van Curen

Zachary Vaughn’s parents, Sara Moola and Michael Vaughn, came in and spoke to the 3rd grade class about the Hoover Dam Project and Topography. Mrs. Moola has a Master’s degree in Geospatial Information Systems, with a background in Environmental Protection and other areas including the Peace Corps in Africa.

Mr. Vaughn was in U.S. Special Operations for 22 years and flew AC-130 Gunships. Before he started his military career he was a Meteorologist.

Mrs. Moola, with the help of Mr. Vaughn, showed the kids how to read a topography map and taught them the pros and cons of building dams. The 3rd graders learned so much and had a blast doing it! A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Moola and Mr. Vaughn for volunteering to teach the class a great lesson!
