What Teachers Are Saying

First Avenue was the recipient of a Victoria Foundation Grant geared toward S.T.E.M. and S.T.E.A.M. related experiential learning. Pilots Bob Mueller and Bruce Byberg introduced students from grades Pre-K to 8 to various aspects of ballooning through three station rotations. The history of ballooning was featured on the big screen in the auditorium, a “cold-air” balloon was stationed in the gymnasium where 300 students were able to sit inside for a Q&A session with a pilot, while the last station, located in the main playground, featured an actual hot air balloon basket ready to be fired up by Principal Branco and Ms. Litterio!
