The Great Lighthouse Project



This is a school project Jack had this year. He's in the 4th grade and had to make a replica of the Stannard Rock Lighthouse located in Marquette Michigan. He was allowed to work on it with his dad (me/Steve), it's success was a major part of his overall final grade. We made it from a Styrofoam block that was cut into a circle to form the base, a Purel water bottle for the lighthouse, newspaper and flour paper mache', toothpicks, some paint and a few other common household things. We were quite happy with the end results - he got an A+ (100%). I am totally proud!
