Ship Shape Walk

Marina Middle School

CAB

On October 23, 2010, Marina Middle School Physical Education Teacher Cynthia Harb, invited all students, families and teachers of the San Francisco Unified School District to walk from the Marina District to Hyde Street Pier.

An enthusiastic group had fun getting more fit with friends and family on this scenic walk (two miles roundtrip). They enjoyed free admission to the historic ships on Hyde Street Pier and the Marina Middle School Band played on the historic ferryboat Eureka.

The walk began at the intersection of Marina Boulevard and Laguna Street and along the way the walkers learned some maritime history.

Cynthia developed the idea and materials for the walk during the 2010 summer while working as a park ranger on Hyde Street Pier.

 

Cynthia Harb, physical education teacher at Marina Middle School, created the Ship Shape Walk last summer while working as a Park Ranger on Hyde Street Pier. Cynthia has returned to her PE duties and organized the event for October 23, 2010. She returned to the pier this September with her class. Here she is standing on the deck of the ferryboat EUREKA.
