</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - also on Saturday 2/21 we will be helping students build rockets. All the supplies will be provided and these kits have sturdy plastic fin cans. The most challenging part will be the gluing of the shock cord into the body tube, so this
can be messy.<o:p></o:p></p>
