What's In A Name?

1998
While celebrating a local hero, a connection to the past was made in a way that kids can could get involved in the direction of their own learning. The school's founder and benefactor provided (defined) a period of time (1798-1876) during which many interdisciplinary studies could take place. All of the areas, math, science, transportation, health/medicine, history, music and language were looked at from the view of Hiram Bellows life time. This team built a web site to share a few of what the whole sixth grade classes covered during this journey into the past.
