Congratulations to a long-time colleague and friend, L'Merchie Frazier of the Museum of African American History, who has been awarded the Debra Miller Award for Excellence in Museum Education by the Mass Council for Social Studies. L'Merchie has supported MA teachers for many years!

We’re rooting for the other guys (go Boston Celtics!) but this did give us a chuckle today!
On the USS CONSTITUTION with USS Constitution Museum educator Emily. Oldest still commissioned ship in the Navy!
Taking our new knowledge to try and build our own ships…and race them obviously USS Constitution Museum
Earlier today, we enjoyed a school program with Paul Revere House Emily Holmes all about Revere’s Midnight Ride. Book your field trip with them this school year!
This week, the Museum hosted BostonPublicSchools teachers for the PlaceBasedBOS Summer Institute as they learn how to incorporate historic sites and resources into their teaching. These teachers rose to the occasion and successfully completed our Ship Design Challenge!
Hot day, but our BostonPublicSchools teachers are on 🔥 thinking about ways to use the sites on the Black Heritage Trail as opportunities for place-based learning with their students.
