Good News from Central School and Marshwood MIddle School
CENTRAL SCHOOL HIKE THROUGH HISTORY
June Arbelo
Central School held its 29th annual Hike Through History at the beautiful and historic grounds of the Hamilton House and Vaughan Woods State Park. This year's theme was Journeys. Students, staff, and community volunteers from Central School, Marshwood Middle School, Historic New England, and Old Berwick Historical Society collaborated to create an exciting, "hands on " day of learning for all. Throughout the day students were transported back in time as they explored why people came to South Berwick and how their life journeys affected the land and their community.
Many thanks to John Caverly, Nina D’Aran, Pamela Mulcahey, Nicole St. Pierre, Tracy LaPoint, Erin Johnson, Rachel Moore, Linda Harmon, Todd Huges, our local town officials and South Berwick Police Department for supporting and valuing this one of a kind community event. Thank you to our amazing and dedicated 3rd and 7th grade teachers and our specialists! Thank you to our smart, responsible, and creative 7th and 3rd grade students! You made this day extra special and we are proud of you!
The Hike Through History’s mission is to connect children with their sense of place and help them become aware of the changes that happen over time.
