Concord Families Reunion!

Our docent, Dave, explains how the British Regulars and militia
from several towns met at The North Bridge.

Our annual field trip to The Concord Museum was an excellent way to learn about the events of April 19, 1775.  Students "became" members of six important Concord families and learned what that fateful day meant for them.  Our study of the American Revolution has been greatly enhanced by this experience.  

 

Mrs. Bliss talks of her concern for her Loyalist family!

Field Trip Update

We will be going to the Concord Museum on Wednesday.  A portion of the trip is outdoors, so please make sure students dress accordingly, as it looks like it will be a bit drizzly and cool. 
Students need to bring their snack with them, and will also need to bring a lunch as we get back after the cafeteria closes.
