On June 13th Mr.Davidson and Mr.Wentzel held a moxie appreciation day in their classroom for all the student. The day consisted of listening to music about Moxie, reading literature written about Moxie, eating food prepared with Moxie (Moxie BBQ Chicken, Moxie Jerky, Moxie Bake Beans, and Moxie dark chocolate cake) and of course enjoying the exquisite taste of Moxie.
The students also took a trip to Lisbon, ME with us to visit the Moxie Museum and meet the infamous Mr. Frank Anicetti aka The Moxie Man.
The students and staff spent a day at the Washburn/Norlands Living History Center in Livermore Falls for a day of fun and learning of farm life back in the late 1800’s. Ray and Ann were incredible guides through our day in history. Ray spent time in the fields collecting firewood with the students using the cart and Oxen and Ann helped the other group prepare a home cooked meal in the kitchen which included Beef Stew and Cornbread and Nutmeg cake for dessert. A great time was had by all and the students all want to go back again! Thanks Norlands! And thank you Mr. Davidson for setting it all up!
The students created their own ice cream today using rock salt and ice, and learned the most important rule of all in this process…patience.
