The seventh grade class is currently researching local citizens and their roles during the Civil War. As an added bonus, a local organization dedicated to the history of the 125th New York Regiment (a local unit from the Civil War) visited the school on Tuesday, May 24th, bringing the students through daily routines of the soldiers: marching, drilling, cooking and reenacting battle conditions. The 125th NY Regimental Association is a New York State Education Department chartered organization. This program has been practiced in various schools in the area for over 20 years.
Special thank you to Kathy Sheehan of the Rensselaer County Historical Society for presenting to the seventh grade students.
