🎈🔥 **Up, Up, and Away with Science!** 🔥🎈
Florence Elementary students had an exciting hands-on learning experience as they discovered how a hot air balloon works! Students watched the RE/MAX hot air balloon crew demonstrate how the balloon is inflated, learned how the burners create lift, and even stepped inside the giant balloon as it filled with air.
From exploring the science behind flight to seeing the balloon up close, our students were captivated by this unique opportunity. A huge thank you to the RE/MAX hot air balloon team for sharing their knowledge and giving our students an unforgettable experience!

🍦 Pioneer Days Fun! 🍦
Our students took a step back in time and celebrated Pioneer Days by making homemade ice cream! As part of their learning about pioneer life, students experienced how families once made treats before modern conveniences.
From shaking ingredients to enjoying the finished product, students had a great time learning about history through a hands-on activity. The smiles said it all—history can be delicious! 😊
