Boston Trip

Folsom’s 7/8 team visited Boston this past week to experience history, science and culture. The trip began at the Museum of Science, where 8th grade students presented research on the science concepts they have studied the past two years.  Students also interacted with displays and witnessed a lightening show. 8th grade students also made presentations on science concepts at the New England Aquarium, where students interacted with touch displays of sharks, skates and sea stars and where students observed rare and common aquatic and marine life in exhibits. 7th grade students made presentations throughout the Freedom Trail at sites such as the Public Gardens, Boston Common, the Granary, the Old North Church and the U.S.S. Constitution. The students were also treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of Old North Church that included a tour of the crypt and the bellfry. The trip would not have been possible without tgenerous efforts of the volunteers, Jeff Kuhn, Barbara Robinson, Kathy Robinson, Penelope Spaulding, Trish Bessette, Bernie Toth and Cynthia O'Hara. Additionally, the team would like to thank the ongoing parent and community support that enabled the fund-raising efforts to pay for the trip.
