NEWS FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome Back
Teachers, Parents and Education Administrators!
The Mission is committed to our 4th grade learners and is dedicated to hosting fun, standards-based educational content to support our teachers, parents and students. Our new distance learning programs debuting this school year feature interactive and pre-recorded experiences perfect for teachers, parents or individual learners.
 
We advocate that this landmark, now more than ever, is worth learning from, and invite you to walk the path with us or "Zoom" from afar, to see the beauty and history of 244 years right here in your own backyard. We applaud our teachers, and our new parent-teachers who stepped in for remote learning this past year. We thank you all for continuing to partner with us to inspire, educate and impact a new generation of learners no matter the challenges. 

We are in this together!


Sincerely,
Mechelle Lawrence Adams, Executive Director
