Week Of Monday, February 6, 2023:
Students with free time are invited to choose one or more extension activities that sparks their interest. Questions Of The Week have no expiration date. They may be completed any time during Sea Term 2023. Each week, we will offer additional ideas related to what is happening aboard the TS Kennedy and where the ship will be heading.
Captain Campbell and the cadets enjoy hearing from students. Teachers and parents are invited to submit outstanding examples of student work to: ftvsubmissions@maritime.edu.
We may also share student work samples in our Gallery.
