Remax Balloon at CCA
On May 11th, the Remax balloon visited CCA. Hot air balloons have been used since 1783, which was 100 years before the Wright brothers. There are two types of balloons, hot air balloons and gas balloons. Hydrogen gas balloons can fly for a longer time, but they are dangerous since that gas is flammable. Hot air balloons go for less time but they are the safer choice.
The Remax hot air balloon has gas powered fans to fill the balloon. Once the balloon is mostly filled with air, they use fire to heat the air so it rises. The balloon is 75 feet long from the top of the balloon to the bottom of the basket. The balloon holds 90,000 cubic feet of air. To test flying conditions they release a regular balloon into the air and watch where it goes; they need to get an accurate wind direction before flights. It is ideal to have eight to ten mile per hour winds or less to go up; and that is normally 1 hour before sunset.
CCA students and teachers enjoyed having the Remax balloon. Thank you for coming! --Marlee

CCA Alumni... Where are they now?
Our CCA featured alumni story for May is about Hannah Helen Reid. She attended CCA from 2004 to 2014. Hannah said she enjoyed CCA because of the home-like feeling and the Christ centered learning. Her favorite memory from CCA was playing basketball on Mr. Bancroft's team.
After CCA she attended high school at CHS (Clinton High School) and then college at Missouri State University, where she received a bachelors degree in communication sciences and disorders. She now works at Therafit as a speech language pathology assistant working at schools throughout Missouri.
In her free time she enjoys hanging out with her friends and watching movies with her dog. Hanna's favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 16:14, let all that you do be done in love. She said that CCA had a positive impact on her life with her education, friendships, and her spiritual life. She said CCA pushed her to showcase her best abilities which helped her through college, and the friends she made are friends she will have for a lifetime. --Priscilla
