The Earth Balloon is an 18 foot tall inflatable scale replica of

our planet. Each elementary class will get a 30 minutes lesson
inside the Earth Balloon based on science and social studies
standards. The Axtell FFA organization is sponsoring this event
from the Marshall County Conservation District.

Sheltered Reality
On Tuesday, March 8th, Axtell Public Schools will get to experience a
performance from Sheltered Reality. Sheltered Reality believes that
music can have meaning, yet be a blast at the same time! They use
drums set to music, as well as choreography to motivate audiences
to realize that anyone, at any age, can dream and succeed. During
the performance, students will learn their Steps of Success, get the
chance to succeed through a drum lesson, and have the
opportunity to perform with the group!
