Eighth Grade Immersed in Bay

What would possess an eighth grader to kiss a fish? Besides being a great photo op, apparently it’s good luck to kiss the fish you are using as bait in your crab trap. The students learned this and so much more on their annual three-day trip to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, which began Monday, September 22.  During the trip they immersed themselves in learning about the watershed’s unique ecosystem (and in mud and muck). The trip is a highlight of Middle School.
