Saturday isn't looking too good so we'll postpone until Sunday the 21st for our launch in Amesbury.
This was the 5th year for the Rocketry Unit at the 6th grade of the Dr. John C. Page School in West Newbury. The unit spans several days and starts with a pre-build session after school a few days before the actual build. This year we had eight students stay after school to assemble parachutes, assemble launch bags (motor, igniter, plug, wadding), fill glue bottles, etc. The kids enjoyed it, did a very good job and saved me a lot of work. From the two years we have had the pre-build, I've learned one thing - for whatever job there is to do, put a girl in charge!
