Boston Massacre Reenactment

Hi All,

In the coming weeks we will be learning about the Revolutionary War. Each year the Old State House Museum puts on an amazing reenactment of the Boston Massacre. Students and families of JFK have attended and have enjoyed watching the reenactment. Some of our students have had the fantastic opportunity to be chosen to be part of the reenactment. Below you will find the information to this year's event.

The students in room 5 have been working very hard on their fiction stories.  They are really coming along quite nicely.  We are hoping to celebrate our success with a Publishing Party on Friday 2/14, however with the recent snow days we may have to postpone the celebration until after vacation.
