Bay Shore Students Explore The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow
Students at Bay Shore High School took a field trip to Sleepy Hollow to learn more about the legend.
BAY SHORE, NY - From the Bay Shore School District: Students from Mrs. Handley and Mrs. Acker’s junior English classes at Bay Shore High School traveled to the Sleepy Hollow cemetery to enrich their study of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. During a historical walking tour, the students traced the footsteps of Washington Irving’s most famous character, Ichabod Crane, and learned about Irving’s influence on today’s popular culture. The students also had the opportunity to enter the cemetery’s 114-year-old receiving vault, stop at a Revolutionary War monument and learn about the cemetery’s art and architecture. This trip was made possible through a generous grant from the Bay Shore Schools Arts Education Fund.
