They are all so incredibly supportive of each other and have truly worked as a team. The future is in fact very bright for the Red Bird Volleyball program!”

This rocket was not just any ordinary project; it was crafted to carry a delicate egg into the sky, with the critical mission of keeping the egg safe and sound. This journey was more than a science experiment; it was a test of creativity, teamwork, and scientific knowledge. As the countdown began, elementary students gathered on the grass, their voices ringing out in unison, "10… 9… 8…" When they reached zero, the rocket ignited and soared into the air, reaching heights of
