OCTOBER 27-29 1999 SCHOOL TRIP

Thanks to grants from The Recompense Foundation, Island Institute, and the Lowel Scholarship as well as a Community Talent show we were able to raise about $2600 which enabled the whole school and parents to have a fabulous "vacation - learning experience" in Boston. We traveled Wednesday after school and spent the night at a motel just outside of Boston. The next morning we traveled to the Museum of Science where we left our cars. The younger grades K-3 traveled by the MBTA to the Peabody Museum at Harvard while the older grade went by train to the beginning of the Freedom Trail. We all met back at the Science Museum at 5 for dinner and then an extensive experience and sleep over at the Museum of Science. Following are images of our trip. I don't have any pictures yet of the K-3 Peabody Museum Trip but hopefully will have some soon.
