Pat will grow misty-eyed as he scrolls through this summer Web log from the Jersey shore.

Now I know making any attempt to connect this to an educational pursuit is a stretch, but I think it would be cool to have selected students contribute to a Web log on our school site that let’s us follow along with their summer exploits.

By the way, the new site looks great.
