Balloon Brigade

The Balloon Brigade is where kids at Westmore Middle School release balloons into the air and hope whoever finds there responds with there location. Whoevers balloon goes the furthest get's a prize. The previous year the prize was a $30 gift certificate at the school book fair, won by Andrea Gennarro's balloon that had the furthest balloon distance at the time. This year's prize is candy corn in a large jar. Vice Principal Roy puts a thumbtack on a map in the library to show how far each balloon went. He also leads kids out on the field to release their balloons.
