Proud to watch Tiverton Middle School students compete at National History Day and explore the historical sites of Washington, D.C.! Deeply grateful for the support of the @JackMillerCtr, which provided this invaluable experiential learning excursion for our future historians.
Many TMS students recently participated in the My America 2026 project, a massive national art and civics initiative to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary by building a giant flag mosaic. The completed flag will be displayed in Boston, MA, later this year. @JackMillerCtr

6th graders at Tiverton Middle School recently participated in a tour of historic Newport, RI. Students also attended a reading of the Declaration of Independence outside the Colony House, as was done in 1776. Thank you, @JackMillerCtr, for this opportunity!
Tiverton Middle School 6th graders proudly marched in full colonial attire for the Tiverton Celebrates Parade! Honoring the nation’s 250th anniversary, they handed out flags to spectators and veterans along the parade route.

Fortunate to have attended top-tier PD sessions highlighting resources from Ken Burns’ new documentary, The American Revolution. Loved learning from experts at the John Carter Brown Library at Brown University, RI PBS, the RI State Archives, and the RI Historical Society.

Terrific celebration at the 60th Anniversary of the Roger Williams National Memorial tonight. I’m grateful to have partnered with Tina O’Brien in creating lessons based on the legacies of Roger Williams and the Hahn family.

For Civic Learning Week, my TMS students took a virtual tour of the RI State House with Erin Stevenson, Deputy Director of Civic Education. She guided us through the Rotunda, House & Senate Chambers, and State Library. We appreciate her expertise!
