Third-graders at College Park Elementary School have been learning
about the history of Virginia Beach. Since one of the areas they are
studying has to do with pirates, they recently held a ``Pirate
Day.'' Students got the chance to dress up as pirates, as well as
the opportunity to make pirate ships, flags and tie knots. They also
made treasure maps and wrote pirate adventure stories. Navy man
Rondrae Smith volunteered to show the young pirates how to tie
knots.
