To the editor: Each year the Dry Hollow fifth-graders do a scientific engineering problem when they design an egg drop container that will keep an egg from breaking when dropped from around 30 feet. And, every year Mr. Sawyer at True Value Hardware in The Dalles donates the use of a lift for our project.

To the editor: Each year at Dry Hollow we have what we like to call "The Great Dry Hollow Egg Drop.” Our fifth grade students use their engineering skills to create a container that can hold a raw egg and be dropped from three different heights without the egg breaking.
