Brooklyn Historical Society UPCOMING TRIP

Please be reminded that on Tuesday, December 21st we will be going on a trip to Brooklyn Historical Society. We will leave school at 9:30 and be back by 12:15.
 
We will  be having a one hour guided tour titled "It happened in Brooklyn".
 
Students will meet a diverse range of residents from Brooklyn’s earliest Native American settlements, to the men and women who fought in the Revolutionary War on Brooklyn’s shores; from the Brooklynites who worked to abolish slavery to immigrants from all over the world; we will also learn about the women who kept America going by working in the Brooklyn Navy Yard during WWII.  
 
With primary sources from the Brooklyn Historical Society collection such as photographs, artwork, documents and oral histories students will engage with key moments in our nation’s history and learn how they played out on Brooklyn’s streets.
