The Earth Balloon visited Ox Ridge School to further the classroom curriculum in earth science, geography, and environmental studies. Students from all grades viewed the southern hemisphere from the outside, and then entered the 20 foot tall balloon to view the entire planet at once. In the second photo, Ox Ridge third graders (left to right) Addison Davis, Gabrielle Stoumpas, Clare Brown, Abraham Ocampo, Cameron Weibel, Brooke Voelker, Charlie Yurman, and Josephine Williams from Ms. Christine Newkirk's class observe the planet earth from the interior.
