Students at Boardman Glenwood Junior High School will be launching a weather balloon Thursday morning.

The company 'Launch with Us' will help students with the setup and the launch.

The weather balloon is expected to gain some national attention with Inside Edition planning to cover the prep and launch.

Weather balloons have been a topical subject lately after a Chinese spy balloon was shot down while flying over the U.S.
