Hands-on Learning Takes Flight

Second and third graders at Glennwood Elementary studied the history of flight this past spring, including the science that makes flight possible. For their unit on lighter-than-air flight, they were able to build and launch their own hot air balloons, thanks to a grant from DEF. What a great demonstration of the Glennwood motto, “Where Learning Takes Flight!”
Third-grader Cassidy Renno and teacher Kate Schultz prepare his hot-air balloon for an imminent launch.
