Red Ribbon Balloon Launch


GCMS Elementary celebrated Red Ribbon Week, which raises awareness for the need for drug and violence prevention and early intervention with a balloon launch.  We wish to extend a special thanks to Hood's ACE Hardware in Gibson City for all their help.  Check out where our balloons have landed here!

  2. I found the balloon launched by student #395 in Lansing, IL at the Lansing Country Club. My name is Scott Stephanuik, I am the General Manager and Head Golf Professional here at Lansing Country Club. I was walking out to my car on Wednesday, October 12th at approximately 7pm and noticed a red balloon in front of my parking space. I quickly thought "Wouldn't it be fun if this was a balloon with a tag about where it was sent from and who sent it." Sure enough as I approached the balloon I quickly found the tag with information about the school and found the link to this balloon launch. What a great idea to run an event like this and what fun the kids seem to be having in the video. I run numerous junior golf programs and always love how excited they can be. Great Job!!
