Elmhurst Real Estate Expert Sponsors RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon Visit To Immanuel Lutheran School On May 12

Students at Immanuel Lutheran School, 148 E. Third St., Elmhurst, Ill., will learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on May 12 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 270 students at Immanuel Lutheran 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.

Elmhurst real estate expert Carol Garland of RE/MAX Action in Oak Brook, Ill., is sponsoring this event.

This program will be presented at 8:30 a.m. and will help the students learn more about ballooning and how it relates to the subjects they study in school. It will be held in the school gymnasium.
