While many of us were hiding from the cold weather, the members of the Ocean Science Club embraced the below freezing temperatures.
On Saturday, Jan. 24, 11 members of the Ocean Science Club participated in this year’s 13th annual Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge.
The Polar Bear Plunge is a charity event that asks men and women to take a dip into the icy waters of the Chesapeake Bay in order to raise money for Special Olympics Maryland.
In efforts to transform the science based club into an organization that is more community service active, club President and senior Justin Gilchrist, and Vice President and senior Alex Davies, decided that their club would participate in the plunge as a way to serve the community.
