What a fantastic day on the Miles River with Polaris Village Academy!
Recently, we welcomed PVA’s 2nd–8th grade scholars for a full day of Chesapeake exploration. Each season, generous members of the CBMM community donate tickets to give local organizations the chance to experience the Miles River aboard PATRIOT. This year, Polaris Village Academy was selected for a special cruise.
Students spent the morning exploring the museum, climbing the lighthouse, and discovering Chesapeake history before heading out on the Miles River for an afternoon cruise.
We caught up with PVA Head of School James Redman, who asked a few scholars about their favorite discoveries. From facing fears at the top of the lighthouse to learning about historic speedboats and the important role oysters play in keeping our waterways healthy, their enthusiasm says it all!
Thanks to the entire PVA crew for spending the day with us! We can't wait to welcome you back for more field trips this school year.
