Students from Streamwood and Elgin who attend Hilltop Elementary School, 1855 Rohrssen Road, Elgin, Ill., will learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on May 8 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 700 students at Hilltop 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. Later, if weather permits, the 70-foot-tall balloon will be fully inflated outdoors.
This program will be presented twice, starting at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. It will help the students learn more about ballooning and how it relates to the subjects they study in school.
RE/MAX real estate expert Dawna Watson of RE/MAX All Pro in Bloomingdale, Ill., is sponsoring this event.
