Testimonials

“In 29 years I have not been involved with any program that has impacted my student’s education as much as our trip on the Appledore”
Lloyd Coffey, Brandon Fletcher Intermediate

"It was all they [the students] could talk about and they said it was the best part of their year"
Tina Euginio, North Saginaw Charter Academy

“An important part of Environmental Studies classes at Kingston High School is the annual testing, recording, and tracking the water quality of Cass River. The Appledore sail allowed them to enjoy the Saginaw Bay and to realize that it is everyone’s job to protect the resources that are most important to us. These are lessons that can’t always be learned from a textbook.”
Maryann Safranek, teacher

“I learned how to use pH paper. It was fun when we took water samples. There were lots of things in the water. I really had fun on the Appledore schooner. I wish I could go again.”
Sincerely, Alissa Alyssa Butler, 5th grade

“BaySail provides a unique opportunity for our youngsters to extend their classroom studies into the out-of-doors. Teachers and students alike often benefit when their students are propelled forward by emotionally charged and adventurous events.”
Sam Maisano, Science Coordinator for Saginaw Public Schools

“My favorite piece of equipment was the anemometer. I, for one, have never seen a scientific piece of equipment so colorful.” Greatest Thanks, Samantha
Samantha Greenberg, 5th grade
