Operation Egg Drop



Reeves had a big homework assignment a couple of weeks ago. He had the challenge of packaging an egg in a way that when it was dropped from about 100 feet, it wouldn't break. Thanks to Mrs. Amy (Amy Ensey), he had a winner! She helped him and her little boy Jake box them up safely surrounded by bubble wrap and newspaper in a box that they decorated with stickers and drawings (Reeves chose a Hot Wheels theme). The Hoover Fire Department dropped each box from the top of their firetruck ladder onto the Deer Valley parking lot. Reeves' teacher (Mrs. Keeney) said he yelled louder than any other kid....and you can see by the look on his face that he was beside himself. The best news of all....his egg SURVIVED the drop! It was one of the few that made it, and he was soooo proud!
