Mrs. Fleck, Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Roberts, and
Mrs. Zimny’s classes attended the History
Harbor Museum where they traveled back in
time to experience life as a student in a one
room schoolhouse. They wrote on slates,
learned the original pledge of allegiance, and
experienced other pioneer related
activities. Thank you to all of our parent
volunteers, and the museum docents for
providing such a wonderful opportunity.
