After much anticipation, the 4-H Rocket Club had a final countdown to the summer’s rocket launch.  The Rocket Club is one of the many activities available to Malad’s 4-H members, and helps to build skills in engineering, design, and artistry.  Participants begin with a rocket kit that needs to be assembled, fine-tuned, and painted before it’s ready for its launch sequence.  With rockets in hand, the kids all take their places near the launch site, while Sherrie Moeller readies the platform.  As each rocket takes flight, cheers go up among the assembled, watching their projects launch skyward and then float gently to earth.

This year’s Rocket Club included Jaxon Blaisdell, Wade Clark, Gage Steed, William Whipple, Macey Bird, Franklin FEsler, Jace Halajian, Reuben Hess, Heber Johnson, Jaylee Johnson, Paislee Nalder, Zachary Palmer, Taggart Smith, Gannon Steed, Declan Summers, Casey Young, Jaquelynn Young, Liam Atkinson, Dayton Bird, Ruxin Smith, Cecilee Hill, Gavin Hooste, and Dax Nimer.
