The 7th Graders are Coming! The 7th Graders are Coming!

For a fifth year, Downingtown Middle School teacher, Anthony Basilio, successfully organized a class trip to Boston for students in the 7th grade. The trip coincides with their American History curriculum focusing on America's independence and the Revolutionary War. I was very pleased to be selected as one of the chaperones that would accompany the other 7th graders on a three day/two night Boston excursion.
My first thought was, what is any class trip without t-shirts? Like Paul Revere bolting from the stables, I drove straight to our friends at SPS Graphics in Downingtown to figure a way we could clad our tour in matching colors. While I worked on the design, SPS searched out the best deal they could find on shirts. They did a fantastic job printing our shirts, resulting in a great looking bunch of Downingtown historians!

It was a wonderful experience for everyone. As a parent, I feel that we are very fortunate to have such a quality group of dedicated teachers. Hats off.
