Students travel to historic landmarks in Boston

Saint Bernard School students took a field trip to Boston for the day on April 2.

Shannon Carrigan shares her experience.

"The recent trip to Boston with Mr. Currie was not only an amazingly fun trip, but he also managed to sneak some education in it as well!

We started off by heading to the Omni Theater, where we witnessed the spectacular showing of Lewis and Clark, got a hilarious tour of Boston on the infamous Duck Boats, gazed at the Holocaust Memorial, had lunch in the busy Quincy Market, and ended the day with a stroll through the Kennedy Museum."
