GRANGER — Highland High School students in Vicki Boltja’s class received a full-sized Soap Box Derby car as part of the Masters of Gravity program. The car, donated by Romeo’s Pizza, was delivered to the class in March by Joe Mazur, president and CEO of the Soap Box Derby, according to Highland officials. Romeo’s Pizza also provided pizza for the class to help kick-off the program.

Shown at right, from left, are Highland students Brian Burke, Seth Lee, Lisa Mohler, Marcus Harris (kneeling), Bobby Stawicki and Randy Horner.

The class will watch the derby car in action at Derby Downs May 19 during the International Soap Box Derby Gravity Racing Challenge.
