This week, our enthusiastic 4th-grade students embarked on an educational voyage aboard the Sultana—a faithful reproduction of a 1768 Royal Navy schooner. SULTANA offers a perfect setting to delve into the rich history and unique environment of the Chesapeake Bay. Our students had the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning alongside the expert staff from the Sultana Educational Foundation, exploring both the environmental science and historical aspects of life in the 18th century.
Our staff had a refreshing Hydration Station yesterday! Today, they indulged in delicious BBQ food, courtesy of Mr. Jenkins for grilling for us! 🍔 🌭
