From the Office
The Spirit of '76 Living History Association came to Cherrydale today! The reenactors portrayed members of Vancouver's Discovery Expedition who visited our area in May of 1792. Our second graders learned about navigation, engineering concepts of the 18th century, science and math. A boatload of fun was had by all!
