Today was launch day for Concord Elementary Schools' annual Weather Balloon Project! Students from all of our elementary schools came together for this exciting tradition — working as a team to release and track their balloons as they soared high into the atmosphere. Concord High School seniors who participated in the very first weather balloon launch — returned to join the festivities and share fond memories of their own experience. As of now, both balloons have reached their maximum altitude and popped, with their journey taking them in the direction of Ann Arbor. What an incredible experience for our students — learning about weather, physics, and the power of curiosity! #WeAreConcord #ConcordPride
