Delaney School Third Graders to Receive Visit from Freedom Trail Scholars

 “Lobsterbacks, go home!  Lobsterbacks, go home!” chants will be heard from down the hall as Wrentham’s Delaney School third grade students take on roles during their Freedom Trail Foundation Scholars program on Wednesday, March 27 at 9:30 a.m., 10:45 a.m., and 1 p.m. at 120 Taunton Street. 

Presented by the Massachusetts Teachers Association in partnership with the Freedom Trail Foundation, this interactive history program helps educate school children in and around Boston and throughout Massachusetts.

The Freedom Trail Scholars program takes the nation’s history and fight for freedom to the classroom and has impacted the lives of more than 18,000 students.

The program provides a one-hour traveling class consisting of two actors taking on multiple roles to bring the major events of the American Revolution in Boston to life. The program incorporates students into the program, letting them interact with the performers, read portions of important documents and declarations, and react to the historic events.

A question-and-answer session follows each presentation. Educators also have access to the Freedom Trail Scholars resource guide, which includes lesson plans and quizzes to help evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
