I may be the last person in America who picks up a lot of magazines, particularly when the cover promotes a list that I absolutely must read: "The top 10 left-handed quarterbacks of all time," "American Idol's biggest scandals." You know, the really important stuff.
Philadelphia Magazine is famous for its annual "Best of Philly" issue, and throughout the year lists best doctors, real estate values and much more. The current issue focuses on the best of schools, and I found a gem of an item about one of our own in 19355 -- The Phelps School.
Headlined "Rocketry," here is how the item reads:

That this Malvern boarding school for boys with learning challenges could qualify one team for the world's biggest rocket competition is impressive. That last school year it qualified two teams -- who placed 15th and 59th while attempting to send a raw egg exactly 750 feet into the air, then land it precisely 45 seconds later -- is superior. This year, co-coaches Skip Turansky and Fred Kepner will become NASA-certified in high-powered rocketry and debut a physics class exclusively on the subject.
Congrats, Phelps! It sounds like you're literally having a blast.
