On Saturday morning we began our day with long morning exercise. Run track did a long run to Deale’s Point, and we ran up to 8 miles. Swim track jumped off High Rock, and then swam to 4th Hole and back. They also did some underwater rock carrying. We then had a long research Continue reading
Today began, as always, with morning exercise. The community gathered together for a “modified run-swim.” We all ran to the marina and swam the current cut, got out of the water and ran back up to the bridge to succumb to Nick’s intense mini-psycho. Afterward we did Continue reading
Today was a regular Thursday schedule. Even though nothing unexpected happened, students were busy studying for math “game day” and finishing memorizing slides for their Marine Eco. fish ID quizzes.

All of her eggs successfully hatched between 4:30 p.m. yesterday and 8:00 a.m. this morning. We gently moved Mama Duck and Continue reading
Happy Easter Friends and Family!
The morning festivities took off with one of our white bio-diesel vans heading to the Wemyss Bight Methodist Church for an 11:00 Easter Service. What seem liked day’s worth of homework prevented the critical mass from attending, but we knew Continue reading
Today was a quiet and calm; yet tumultuous day at the Island School. Sleepy students rose out of their beds at 6:30 for a run to High Rock as a semester, as the rosy sunrise guided the students towards the wonderful scenery that the rock itself brought. Upon arrival at Continue reading
