Last week our 7th graders tested their water rockets on the football field. We had 2 groups break the school records! Levi Ervin and Kole Bowman built a rocket that traveled 327' in the air breaking the previous record. Scout Eden and Quinten Irsik built a rocket that stayed in the air for a new hang time record of 14.95 seconds. Their names will go up on the Synergistics Record Holders wall of fame. Is your legacy of JH Synergistics record still standing? We have some that date back to the mid 90's still on the wall.
