On
February 17, 2006 students and staff
went on a tour of the underground
railroad in Burlington City and
visited four different historical
sites including Burlington Island
which records show had slaves present
on the island as early as 1664.
We had lunch and continued on, ending
our trip at Timbuctoo. This was
an old settlement that still contains
the graves of blacks that fought
in the Civil War. It was a very
interesting and knowledgeable trip
and I learned a lot that day.
The
best part is we got to help take care of
the dogs. Some people have as many a 5 dogs
that they have adopted. They had a fashion
show and a wedding with Elvis as the minister.
The people said we were a big help. We put
tickets into the chinese auction and some
of us won prizes for our families. Ms June
won a really big prize. She bought a raffle
ticket and won a real Flyers jersey signed
by all the Flyers. We all had a great day!!
