RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon Will Make April 30 Educational Visit To Kershaw School In The Chicago Real Estate Neighborhood Of Englewood

Students at Kershaw Magnet Elementary School, 6450 S. Lowe Ave., in the Englewood area on Chicago’s South Side will welcome the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew on April 30. The balloon crew will present an interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX metro Chicago real estate network.

The 180 students at Kershaw Magnet School will learn about various aspects of ballooning, including its history and the scientific principles involved, and they will see a demonstration on how the balloon functions. The RE/MAX balloon will visit more than 40 schools this spring in northern Illinois.

The program will be presented at 9:30 a.m. outdoors on the school grounds, weather permitting, but can be moved indoors if required. The balloon envelope will be inflated with hot air to its full 75-foot height if the program is held outdoors. If the presentation moves indoors, the envelope is inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it.
