Peabody, MA. The GEORGE PEABODY HOUSE MUSEUM, in cooperation with the Peabody Public Schools, will begin its annual Third Grade program on September 26, 2006. Each year, all third graders in the eight Peabody elementary schools visit the museum. Students learn about American philanthropist George Peabody, changes to the City of Peabody since George's time, and about the leather history of the city. Visits begin in September and end in mid-December. The program ends with an essay competition, the results of which are announced in February.
Note: Mayor Bonfanti plans to meet with the first group of students from the South School at the museum on September 26 around 11:15 a.m.
