Along the way, they saw the Edgar Allan Poe statue and rode the ducks at the "Make Way for Ducklings" statue in the Boston Public Garden. ![8th trip5](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/8th%20trip5.jpg?width=600&name=8th%20trip5.jpg)   They also traveled outside of Boston to Lexington, Concord and Salem. In Salem, they visited the Salem Witch Museum and toured the secret passages at the creepy House of the Seven Gables. ![8th trip1](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/8th%20trip1.jpg?width=600&name=8th%20trip1.jpg) Before heading back to Tampa they finished their trip by exploring the National Monument to the Forefathers. In four short days, the 8th grade class was able to safely experience so much of what Boston has to offer thanks to the hard work of the 8th grade teachers and chaperones. ![8th trip6 (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/8th%20trip6%20(1).jpg?width=960&name=8th%20trip6%20(1).jpg)   ![8th trip3](https://blog.tampaprep.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/8th%20trip3.jpg?width=600&name=8th%20trip3.jpg)   Search ### Categories - [Academic Counseling (1)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/academic-counseling) - [Academics (16)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/academics) - [Alumni (9)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/alumni) - [Arts (23)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/arts) - [Athletics (14)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/athletics) - [Community Service (14)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/community-service) - [Downtown Tampa (4)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/downtown-tampa) - [Faculty (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/faculty) - [History & Traditions (3)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/history-traditions) - [Life Lessons (12)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/life-lessons) - [Middle School (32)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/middle-school) - [Parenting (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/parenting) - [Robotics (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/robotics) - [Science (12)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/science) - [Special Events (2)](https://blog.tampaprep.org/allschoolnews/tag/special-events) - ### Previous PostStudent-Led Production of Steel Magnolias - ### Next PostTampa Prep iBook Assessment Presented at Conference - - - - - © 2022 Tampa Preparatory School 727 W.
