Yesterday the first winners of our Sailing Scholarship Program joined us at LFSC for a fun day on the water! The two students from Ficus Tree Elementary School learned how to read wind direction, sailing knots, how to rig and de-rig their boats, how to right their boats, and how to sail a beam reach course independently between two buoys practicing basic sail trim and boat handling skills. The two scholars got the hang of things quickly and sailed extremely well! At Ficus Tree Montessori School winners are elected not only based on their academic skills but rather by how they excel at being respectful, responsible, self-disciplined, independent, creative, self motivated, organized, and collaborative children that practice leadership and global thinking. By working hard to be the best we can be as students and as humans on this planet we may open doors to many positive opportunities like learning to sail a small sailing dinghy in Costa Rica! Keep up the good work kids!
