Our students stepped up in a big way (with excellent preparation and coaching by Mr. Casey and Mr. Nagle) and asked a continuous stream of questions for over 45 minutes. At the end of the formal presentation, the students all formed a line to shake Dr. Roberts’ hand and offer their appreciation. It was a wonderful experience and I was very proud of our students.
If you haven’t had a chance to see The Bedford Citizen, I included the brief article below written by Ms. Julie Turner. The piece gives great insight and context to the presentation and some of the work the social studies department has done in re-defining our curriculum.
