    Fourth Graders Explore the Chesapeake Bay on the Lady Maryland

    Our 4th grade students set sail on the Lady Maryland for a hands-on Chesapeake Bay adventure, exploring science and environmental stewardship through activities like steering the ship, testing water salinity, and studying marine life. They witnessed the effects of pollution firsthand and discussed the unusual pistachio tide’s impact on ecosystems. A surprise encounter with the Pride of Baltimore II added excitement, as students exchanged cannon salutes and escorted the ship into the harbor. Inspired by innovations like Mr. Trash Wheel and reef balls, students are now designing their own inventions to help protect the Bay, which they’ll proudly present at October’s Leadership Circle.
