To wrap up their semester course, Belfast Area High School students in Genna Black and Chip Lagerbom's Marine Studies class recently elected to do a January polar plunge. On the last day of class, they went down to the Belfast Town dock ready to jump in.

Air temperature was 21°F and water was 39°F. A decent breeze greeted the polar plungers as they exited the water, according to Lagerbom.

Joining in on the plunge was building principal Jeff Lovejoy and BAHS History teacher Andrew Rayner.
