I sit on EG Historical Cemetery Commission and Andy Perrin reached out to us earlier in fall to bring his RI Local history class to local historic cemetery.  He attended a commission meeting in October at which time commission and he were jazzed about potential to explore local history via these sites. This Monday his class will be at a historic cemetery down the street from EGHS, cleaning up and discovering headstone data etc… Then Margot Formisano, as part of her photography curriculum plans to take photos.
Additionally: 
·         Senior, James Deakin, who is focusing on restoring a EG Historical Cemetery for his Senior Project attended the commission meeting last night.
·         Additionally, via INTERACT we have students signed up for our Historic Cemetery Clean up.

Impressive interest on faculty and student level in work of this commission and local history.
