These are the guiding questions our 6 White students will be exploring and answering during our upcoming field trip to Drumlin Farm in Lincoln, MA on June 8th. The farm is part of the Massachusetts Audubon Society which offers interactive experiences for students ranging from pre-school through grade 12. Our field trip will be a cumulating activity connecting our recent units on soil and plants.

Thanks to a grant from the Groton Commissioners of Trust, the eighth grade will enjoy a presentation by Living Voices on Thursday, June 7th. Through the Eyes of a Friend is a moving account of Anne Frank s life as told by an actress who interacts with a media production. This is a unique presentation which eighth graders particularly enjoy after their study of the Holocaust.
