Living Treasures

Today’s students ranged from age 11 to 65. Sixth grade students from three different elementary schools and senior citizens from Project Independence came together as the beginning of a yearlong program called Living Treasures. The goal of this program is to have the young students interact and learn from the elders in our community through interactive experiences such as the Ernestina. The large group was broken into six smaller groups and a crewmember joined each of the groups. After an introduction to learn everybody’s name the crew member lead their group throughout the ship teaching about the history of the ship, how we navigate and steer the vessel, how to catch plankton, and even how to make some nautical bracelets. By the end of the day everybody was better acquainted!
