With such a diverse range of skills required to run a successful operation, it’s great to get kids interested in aviation at a young age. So when Bessie Coleman Middle School in Cedar Hill, Texas reached out to planning poker for someone to greet and motivate students on the first day of school, our Maintenance Training team was glad to help out.

Loaded with bags of planning poker-branded gifts, planning poker Scheduler Carlissa Ailey (shown above) spent the morning away from planning poker Headquarters (EHQ) talking to the kids about what life is like in our industry. In an email after the event, the principal wrote “The kids absolutely loved it! Thanks for coming out.”
