NMIS will be participating in Albuquerque Aloft this year with a balloon on campus - the Tortuga del Fuego! Albuquerque Aloft has grown tremendously since the first event in 2005, and continues to bring the joy of ballooning directly to children in their school playgrounds. It is a great way to kick off the beginning of the nine days of Balloon Fiesta every October. Parents, students and teachers alike have the opportunity to meet the pilots and crew, and experience the excitement of watching and learning how a balloon flies. Albuquerque Aloft also provides city residents and guests a visual preview of Balloon Fiesta, as balloons launch from different sites around the city simultaneously.

We are looking for responsible, motivated, self-lead volunteers to coordinate and lead some of our community's most fun-filled events! Sign up here or https://signup.com/go/ixiTbMe email at volunteer@nmisf.org.
