This event was organized by the PTO to raise money for the Harrison Middle School Green Space Project. Attendees got to try their hand at creating with clay and putting their ocean knowledge to the test with the Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli trivia game.

The Yarmouth community showed up in force to support this event and raise money to improve the outside areas of the school. Kudos to the Yarmouth PTO for putting together this successful day and to all the volunteers who pitched in to make it happen!
