Boeing Awards Grant for Expansion of Destination Space and Destination Mars Programs and Space Exploration Curriculum
Brevard Schools Foundation is the recipient of a $120,000 grant from The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] that will fund the expansion of STEM initiatives centered around the augmentation and expansion of the Destination Space program as well as the development and implementation of the new Destination Mars program and space exploration education curriculum.
The great “space race” is being revitalized with Mars in mind, and the monies provided by The Boeing Company will expand the curriculum surrounding the Destination Space Program (formerly known as Space Week) for sixth grade students at Brevard Public Schools. A new program called Destination Mars, will feature an innovative pilot program that extends Space Week with STEM activities and two competition days. Several BPS departments are collaborating to host a Destination Mars Innovation Day in February 2019 for students and teachers representing fourteen pilot schools.

How to Safely Dispose of Unneeded Prescription Medications
Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to potential accidental poisoning, misuse and overdose. According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the majority of abused prescription drugs were obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.
It’s important to safely dispose of any prescription medications that have expired or that you no longer need. However, it’s not safe to throw them in the trash or to flush them down the toilet or sink – this can be harmful to the environment.
Instead take them to one of the many medication disposal locations in Brevard County:
- Melbourne Police Department, 650 N. Apollo Blvd. Lobby hours: 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday-Friday.
The MPD disposal box accepts all prescription, non-prescription, over-the-counter pills, ointments, lotions and liquids. No syringes, asthma inhalers, aerosol canisters or chemotherapy drugs.
- Other disposal locations include Brevard County Sheriff's Office precincts and most local pharmacies.
