Thanks to the Galesville Volunteer Fire Department for visiting and bringing their impressive ladder truck. The local firefighters helped host our Fall Fun Day. Middle school students competed in the School-Wide Egg Drop. We also had a quick round of Pumpkin Smash!

Our students spent time designing, engineering, and testing protective contraptions meant to keep a raw egg safe from a high fall. Firefighters raised the truck’s aerial ladder high above the school grounds and dropped teams' creations one by one to see whose design could survive the fall!

After testing our young engineers' contraptions, the Fire Department helped us finish the event with a smashing grand finale, dropping a few pumpkins from the top of the ladder!

A huge THANK YOU to the Galesville Fire Department for taking time out of their busy schedules to engage with our students, inspire future problem-solvers, and help make the day so much fun.
