Mrs. Charlotte Loggie, D16 Enrichement Coordinator, recently brought five students in grades 3 to 4 for a historical walking tour of Douglastown. During their tour they visited the Rankin House, Seaman's Hospital and the waterfront trail with help from local historical interpretor, Cyril Donahue. The tour was a big hit for the students and they look forward to continuing on with their project in the Fall! Check out our gallery for more photos!
