Huntley Sixth Grade Holds Renaissance Fair
By Nancy Archambeault
Two weeks ago,'the whole sixth grade put on a Renaissance Fair. The Renaissance lasted from the 1400's to the 1600's. The grades K-5 came to see the explorers, minters, glass blowers and others. The sixth
grade worked hard since the beginning of the school year. A group of students even put on the play "A Midsummer's Night's Dream".
"Who put this together?" you may ask. Well, the genius
behind it was Mrs. Stites. Even though we worked hard, Mrs. Stites encouraged us to do a little bit better. So, thanks to Mrs. Stites, the fair went smoothly and was lots of fun.
