Student Entries

Hello Everyone,

Now that we are beginning to settle into a routine, each day students will be creating our blogs! At the end of each post, the author will be listed.

The Trip:

The day of travel was long, even though we just went from the Long Island to Florida! However, stepping off the plane in Ft. Lauderdale, into non-freezing air was a relief. We had only a few mishaps along the way, involving our mascot from the Lower School - Bubbles. Bubbles had quite the adventure: almost left on the bus at Islip and then again misplaced at check-in! Once we realized that she did not make it through security with us, Bubbles was safely returned to us by security at Islip! Mr. Drossel is credited with her recovery, after alerting everyone in the airport - including the Suffolk County Police! She now has an assigned caretaker: Chela.

Our actual plane ride was uneventful. SouthWest Airline provided a bit of in-flight entertainment: singing flight attendants. The bus ride was much better with music playing from our speakers. Driving across the 7-mile bridge was cool, although we learend that the newer bridge is actually only 6.9 miles long! When we arrived at SeaCamp we were given a brief tour of the facilities and a cool lecture on coral reefs. I am looking forward to my stay.
