I have chosen this design to put Edison Junior High's name
(Large white letters displayed in the red border
around the outside of the design)
in front of the public and to display information about the
25th launch of the Columbia Space Shuttle while honoring Edison's very
own astronaut, Scott Altman.
The red, white, and blue color scheme works well, not only
because these are our country's colors but because red and white is also
Edison Junior High School's colors.
The rocket in the middle of the design represents the launch
of Columbia's 25th flight, STS-90. Scott Altman will be the pilot.
The eight stars in the patch represent the eight students selected
from Edison to view their STAR, Scott Altman at the launch site in Florida
on April 2nd.
The gold shown as smoke from the rocket also represents the
pride in Scott Altman and the recognition of the honor it is for the eight
students to represent our school on this mission.
