Pittsboro, N.C. — The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office is taking on a special assignment that will help students at Horton Middle School learn about the wonders of space.
After receiving a request from sixth-grade teacher Rose Wignall, the sheriff’s office will be safeguarding rock samples supplied by NASA.
The moon rocks came to Chatham County after Wignall put in a request through the Lunar and Meteorite Disk Program.
