March 23 – 27 – Hell000000! It’s tickets to see Mrs. Doubtfire on March 27th!
What’s the craziest thing that happened to you over the
weekend? Sherrie may have you beat. The Texas grandmother was just sitting at home when something crashed through her
ceiling . . . ricocheted through a bedroom like a bouncy ball . . .
and then landed next to a TV. Her grandson went to check and found a hole in the ceiling. Then Sherrie saw a rock that she immediately knew was actually a meteor. That sounds crazy, but she was apparently right on the money. NASA confirmed that
there was a meteor in the Houston area. It weighed about a TON, with a diameter of THREE FEET. Fortunately…it wasn’t that one! Sherrie’s was just a meteor fragment about the size of a baseball. Thankfully no one was in the room at the time, so everybody is ok.
A group of Harvard Students who spent their spring break doing construction work in Decatur…. instead of time at the beach. Working alongside Habitat for Humanity of Morgan
County, the students helped build homes in the Heritage Creek development.Then we have a 16 year old who’s invented towels that stay cool for hours…with a simple snap. Harrison started “CoolTowel” in his bedroom and his since shipped more than 30,000 orders. He also
won 200,000 for his invention.A group of teens is taking on Pickleball waste. Their project, Another Bounce, turns discarded balls into new products and pushes manufacturers to create take-back programs. They hope
to set a world record for recycling them. You can find them on instagram.And Girl Scouts in Florida recently donated 500 boxes of cookies to its homeless residents. The boxes were handed out at Our Father’s Soup Kitchen.
