Mrs. Toth's 2nd grade class read "The Christmas Tree Ship". The story is based on the "Rouse Simmons", a Great Lakes schooner that sailed to the Upper Peninsula bringing Christmas trees back to Chicago. In 1912, the Rouse Simmons sank as it was returning home on its final planned voyage. The shipwreck remains are located near Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The shipwreck is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
