Over at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum on Friday, these great 8th graders launched 2 more boats. The faces on these kids speaks volumes of how much fun and educational this experience is. The teachers who were there, I wish I had them in 8th grade. Thank you to the Essex Shipbuilding Museum for all your experience and to Teacher Dave Brown and Amy Donnelly for your dedication to these students. It was also so wonderful to see Harold Burnham watch some future boat builders launch their creations.
