Adventures in Space Rocket Camp

In February the PTA sponsored a guest speaker named David Heshion. He shared his knowledge about human travel to the moon and his collection of models and memorabilia with the 5^th grade.

The 5^th Grade Team is very excited to have Mr. Heshion return for Rocket Camp. This is a special program for JRMS students to learn about rockets, how they work and how they fly.

Students will build and launch their own rocket. These rockets will fly as high as 1000 feet or more and are reusable. Any lost rockets will be replaced.
