Field Trip News!

The fifth grade is going to Boston!

We’re still working out some details, but we wanted to bring you up to date on our plans so far.

Our trip is scheduled for Friday, June 1. The itinerary includes stops at the Bunker Hill Monument and Museum, Quincy Market, and the Boston Museum of Science, as well as a walk on the Freedom Trail and a ride on the Charlestown Ferry. We will depart from Thetford before the official school day starts, and arrive home in the evening.  We are hopeful that some of you will want to join us as chaperones!

The Boston trip has been a 6th grade privilege for the last several years, but this may change in the future because of shifting curricular goals. Boston’s numerous historical sites make it a good fit for our 5th grade curriculum, and we’re excited to share these sites with our students this year.

We will be sending out more information, including a detailed itinerary and chaperone request next week. Mark your calendars in the meantime!
