Mr. Ertel, father of a GISW second-grader, is a drone designer and engineer. He gave a presentation about drones, his business, and his work in Mrs. Monnett’s second grade English class. Mr. Ertel brought a commercial sized drone with him, which the students could touch and closely observe. The GISW principal, Mr. Apsel stopped by as well to listen to the talk.  

The students were fascinated with the show-and-tell lesson, and they had thought-provoking questions for Mr. Ertel. They loved being able to touch the drone and inspect the propellers.
