Our 5th-grade students recently participated in an exciting Egg Drop Challenge, where they designed and built creative contraptions to protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a height. This hands-on STEM activity encouraged problem-solving, teamwork, and engineering skills. We want to extend a sincere thank you to the Rutherford Truck Co. 1 for their support and assistance during the event. Their willingness to help made the experience even more memorable for our students, and we truly appreciate their partnership in bringing learning to life.<\/p>\n
