During the year, 8th graders participate in engaging activities like visits from Civil War re-enactors and President Lincoln. 7th graders get to meet Queen Elizabeth and Shakespeare. Every year in the Fall, we have a History Day event. Students in all three grades dress up in historical costumes and participate in special activities in their classes.<\/em><\/p>\n
