3-2-1 BLAST OFF!

Yesterday was our very last Green S.T.E.M. Club meeting for the 2011-2012 School Year! We had a wonderful turn-out of both present and past members, and an overwhelming amount of cupcakes and juice boxes. Thank you so much to all of the parents who sent in treats. We appreciate you!

The rockets were AMAZING! We had five rockets all together; two of which had eggs in them! Once the egg rockets went up, the egg separated from the rocket, and flew back down to Earth on a parachute. As with any space mission, it was a risky flight, and we did suffer some losses. One rocket is resting peacefully in the trees at Springwood, an egg on a parachute is also watching over all of our fourth and fifth grade students from a tree on the back of the playground. And, somebody in the neighborhood behind our school is probably wondering how an egg on a parachute got in their yard!

Here are some pictures from our celebration yesterday. Thank you to all who participated in The Green S.T.E.M. Club this year! We had a "BLAST"!
