The EarthView team is happy to be back visiting the sixth grade students at Tenney Grammar in Methuen. This is our fourth time visiting the school. Our last visit was on March 27th and the blog post for that visit can be found here

Update from the day:
This was the fist visit to the school for EarthView Wranglers Karen and Eva. They were both surprised to find that the gymnasium is located on the second floor of the school! Dr. Domingo informed us of how the school got it's name...a man named Charles Tenney who was born in Salem, New Hampshire but moved to Methuen, Ma established a hat manufacturing business in the 1860's. He became very rich through the selling of his hats and when he died in 1919 he left money to the town of Methuen. Charles Tenney along with his brothers were a well-off family in Methuen and their legacy continues to live on today. 

We hope that the students of Tenney Grammar enjoyed their visit with EarthView and we hope to be back again next year!
