The EarthView team is excited to be back visiting Captain Samuel Brown Elementary in Peabody today! This is our second visit to the school, our first visit was in this past March. Our last blog post for the school talked about snow...luckily there is no snow in the forecast for today's visit! 

Since the blog post for the first visit to the school did not offer any fun facts on Peabody here are some!

• Peabody is located in Essex County 
• Had a population of 51,251 in the 2010 Census
• Was first settled in 1626 as a part of Salem
• In 1752, the area set off and became Danvers
• In 1855 the community broke away and became South Danvers
• On April 30th, 1868 South Danvers became Peabody 
• Peabody was incorporated as a city in 1916
• Peabody was a farm community but became the center of New England's Leather Industry
• The city is referred to as Leather City or Tanner City by locals
• Peabody is 16.8 square miles and is located just 15 miles northeast of Boston

This is our last EarthView visit of 2015! We hope that all of the students who have visited EarthView this year have had a wonderful experience and we hope that they'll cherish the memories that they've made for a lifetime! We will start off EarthView in 2016 on January 15th when we visit Johnston, Rhode Island! 

We wish all of our Earthviewers a wonderful holiday season and a happy and healthy new year! 

EarthView in the National Spotlight!

An article on EarthView and our work made it into a national newspaper!!

A couple of weeks back when we visited Wynn Middle School in Tewksbury on November 13th, reporters from The Town Crier and The Lowell Sun came and interviewed Dr. Hayes-Bohanan, Dr. Domingo and The Globelady Ms. Rosalie Sokol about the program. Somehow our article in The Lowell Sun made it's way to the Associated Press and we were featured in the U.S. News and World Report!

We are thrilled that Bridgewater State University's involvement in STEM and Geography Education has been mentioned on the national level!

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!
