Morton West Cardboard Boat Race
In partnerships with The Royal Group in Cicero, IL and the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation on a pilot opportunity for our students, students from across the district have been challenged to work as a team to plan, design and construct a boat made entirely of corrugated sheets and duct tape. Students floated their boat across the Morton West Pool. The top three winners received prizes in scholarship money, as well as opportunities to win the design/creativity competition of the “most creative boat”. GO Mustangs!
