With us closing in on our final days of the β€œMy Surf Shop” project, we had the pleasure of hearing from Prof. Charles Mencel of Mencel Surfboards.

Day 2 of our My Surf Shop project involved students learning about #surfboard shapes and taking inventory based off of supply/demand from fellow classmates. Day 1 had students plan their space to get their permit from the city (aka Mr. Small aka the Big Kahuna) @OPSchoolsNJ πŸ„πŸΌπŸ„πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Sometimes the quiet students are the ones just waiting to show the world their hidden talents. Blown away at this girl’s voice. And no one knew. I may have gotten a lil misty eyed.
