Students at Lakewood Elementary School, 2301 Lakewood Circle Dr., Montgomery, Ill., will learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on April 29 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 780 students at Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. in the school gymnasium.
Terri Jeffries of RE/MAX Great American II in Yorkville, Ill., is sponsoring this event.
