Pilot Noah Smith visits Elk Valley STEM School students

Smith talks with second grade students

By Noah Smith

PIONEER, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF)- What a fun and exciting day at Elk Valley Elementary School talking to the 2nd Grade Class about my job as an airline pilot!

Every student deserves to: Climb Higher, Fly Further, and Soar Faster

It was such a privilege answering their questions, talking with them about my job, and hopefully getting to inspire them to chase their dreams and reach new heights! Every student deserves to succeed, we just need to make sure they have the resources to do so.

Thank you so much for inviting me Nancy Lay and Misty McNealy!

If any other teachers across the county would like for me to come and speak, I would love to do so!
