Jefferson School principal Lorna Sherwood wanted to make an early impression on Jefferson students this year. So, she recruited a hot air balloon crew to bring their Sun Gard balloon to the Jefferson School grounds. The idea — get the students thinking of this year’s theme, “Dream Big, Believe Big, Achieve Big.” Tuesday morning the crew filled the hot air balloon in front of students. Students watched Sherwood get in the basket of the hot air balloon as it was lifted up from the west side of the school. The balloon was tethered and returned safely to the ground. School started in Morton District 709 last week.
