Auten Road Intermediate School fifth grade students participated in the school’s annual Colonial Day events on Friday, May 20.
Folks from the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts in Madison, as well as teachers and parent volunteers, led classroom activities, including practice with quill and ink, butter making and whirligig making. Students enjoyed a Colonial Day-inspired lunch of chicken and cornbread in the cafeteria and played colonial games during recess.
Principal Christopher Carey and instrumental music teacher Marc Angelone continued a Colonial Day tradition of welcoming students to school by ringing an old-fashioned school bell and drum from the roof of the building.
