RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon To Visit Sayre Elementary School In Chicago On June 1

The RE/MAX Northern Illinois Real Estate Network continues to bring this popular education program to Chicago Schools

The 570 students and staff at Harriet Sayre Elementary Language Academy, 1850 N. Newland Ave., in the Galewood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, will learn about the science and physics of hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX hot air balloon and its balloon team visit the school on June 1. The visit is part of an on-going interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network.

The program will be presented at 9:15 a.m. outdoors on the south playground of the school, weather permitting. The balloon envelope will be inflated with hot air to its full 75-foot height if the program is held outdoors. If the program moves indoors due to weather, the envelope is inflated with cold air so that students can go inside it for the presentation.

The program is offered to schools at no cost and continues to get rave reviews from both students and teachers alike.
