RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon Will Make Educational Visit To Pope School In Marseilles On April 18

Students at Milton Pope School, 3197 E. 28th Road, Marseilles, Ill., will learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on April 18 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 students at Pope School 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 starts at 9:30 a.m. in the school gymnasium and is designed to educate the 245 Pope School students about ballooning and how it relates to the subjects they study in school.
