Smooth Sailing for Dearborn Edsel Ford Student

Talk about a student going above and beyond.

Edsel Ford High School senior Danielle Boettger designed and built a kayak in her high school woodshop class.

Boettger spent 100 hours on her kayak, working toward her special launch day, which took place last Friday in Edsel’s pool, where friends, family, school administrators watched and cheered as she demonstrated her “rolling” techniques.

Boettger’s headed to Michigan Tech University on a full ride scholarship. We say well done and good luck at university. Below is the video story:

    For all the complaint comments we get about the schools—this ought to get LOTS of comments and I’m disappointed to see that I’m first. AWESOME job Danielle and also a thank you for the outstanding teaching and allowing a student to go outside the box of Mr. Clark. Thank you for encouraging students the way that you do! GO EDSEL! 🙂
