Artist Boat Curriculum Guide
Artist Boat delivered copies of the Bolivar Habitat Preserve Field and Curriculum Guide for Educators to the teachers at Crenshaw School of Environmental Studies.
The teachers at Crenshaw received this curriculum through participation in a two-day professional development workshop. During the workshop, teachers became interpreters and engaged in direct experience with the natural environment. Thank you Artist Boat!

Hidden History - The Bryan Museum
The Bryan Museum is introducing a lecture series that will help expand the narrative of Galveston and Texas history.
Join historian Sam Collins, III this Saturday, September 12, as he shares the life of John Rufus Gibson, a name everyone should know. Gibson dedicated his life to the education of youth on Galveston island. His career spanned over 50 years and the impact of his influence is still being felt today. The inspiring story of this man and his family have been hidden for years. It is time to reveal it and celebrate it!
Sign up for the Zoom presentation: https://thebryanmuseum.org/hidden-history/
