At 211� water is hot.
At 212�, it boils.
With boiling water, comes steam.
Steam can power a locomotive.
The one extra degree makes the difference.
Please watch this 3 minute video to learn more about 212 - The Extra Degree.
The One Fund is Countryside's annual campaign to raise funds in support of classroom needs and facility improvements.
