Students at Coal City Elementary School, 300 N. Broadway, Coal City, Ill., will learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on April 16 to present a special interactive educational program. The visit is part of an on-going balloon education program developed by RE/MAX Northern Illinois.
The 560 students at Coal City Elementary will learn about various aspects of ballooning, its history and the scientific principles involved. Plus, they will see a demonstration on how the balloon functions. During one portion of the program, students can walk inside the balloon envelope, which is partially inflated with cold air.
The program is designed to educate Coal City students about ballooning and how it relates to the subjects they study in school. So that all students can attend, the program will be presented at both 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. in the school gymnasium.
Meghan Foley of RE/MAX Top Properties in Morris, Ill., is sponsoring this event.
