Fifth Graders Take History to the Streets of Boston!

May 15, 2025

On a rainy yet exhilarating spring day, all 37 of our fifth graders set off from Mater Christi School at 6:30 a.m. for a memorable journey to Boston—bringing their American Revolution studies to life in the heart of New England.

Their adventure began at the iconic Old North Church, followed by a walking tour through the historic North End, where a sweet stop at Mike’s Pastry made the morning extra special. Students then traced the footsteps of patriots along the Freedom Trail, visiting powerful landmarks including the site of the Boston Massacre, the Old State House, the Granary Burial Ground, and Boston Common.

The learning didn’t stop there—our fifth graders continued their Revolutionary journey with visits to Lexington and the North Bridge in Concord, key sites where the first shots of the American Revolution were fired.

Despite the rain, spirits were high and smiles were wide. This field trip was not only the perfect culmination of their classroom studies—it was a day full of discovery, friendship, and unforgettable moments.
