Firefighters make science experiment an ‘egg-static’ event

a07_firefighters1GMES fifth grade students and teachers would like to recognize some of Delta's finest, the crew of the Delta County Fire Department.Special thanks goes out to the local fire department for once again helping GMES students successfully drop raw eggs encased in nothing but fifth grade ingenuity, milk cartons, and many heartfelt wishes that each egg would survive the 45- to 60-foot plummet to the awaiting target on the ground.

Sadly, not one egg survived the descent, but students' blues were soon washed away with a steady stream of refreshingly cool water thanks to Scott Meyers, Ben Martinez and Mike Fancher. Delta County Fire Department, thank you for making the GMES egg drop something for everyone to be "egg-static" about. Fifth grade teachers and their students are already looking forward to next year's event.
