Braintree School Students
Learn How It Used To Be

"King of the Hill," snowball fights, and traverse rides down long steep hills—these were some of the wintertime pursuits enjoyed by Braintree kids at recess in years past.

Just how much have Braintree Schools changed over the years? Current Braintree students have aimed to find out. Carrying tape recorders and cameras and ready with questions, the students have conducted interviews with past Braintree students as part of an ongoing Community Connections Project.

A celebration of this project, "Braintree School Stories," will be presented on Sunday, June 10 at 7 p.m. at the Braintree Hill Meetinghouse.

A live recorded interview of former students and discussion of school days in Braintree will be moderated by current students.

Everyone is welcome to ask questions and share reminiscences about school days in Braintree. For information call 728 - 9457
