The “Amazing Summer Escape Challenge” continues.
On Tuesday July 16, students gathered at the Polo Park Recreation
Center for the “Balancing Nails Challenge."
“Students and parents were asked to think outside the box to
come up with a way to balance 11 nails on the head of one nail,” said Irma
Niten, the parent involvement coordinator for Wiley Magnet Middle School.
“Students and parents broke their brains trying to complete the task.”
Betty Jo Moore, who teaches science at Wiley, was on hand to show
them how to use balance and gravity to accomplish the challenge.
“Everybody was able to balance the nails,” Niten said.
“The Amazing Summer Escape Challenge” is a
school system program designed to encourage students to keep learning
throughout the summer.
The next challenge will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday July 21
at Forest Park Elementary School. For more information, go to Summer Escape
