Although this morning was a sleep-in, and therefore a break from morning exercise for The Island School, a few students still participated in a form of morning exercise! Grace, Sam, and Jack all used some elbow grease to help lower the campus wind turbine, which the facilities team had to bring down in order to perform maintenance.  It takes hundreds of cranks for the wind turbine to come all the way down, so their contributions were greatly appreciated.  Check out this video of Grace and Sam cranking away!
