Who We Are !

 We are from Boston Green Academy, a new BPS charter school. We are a diverse AP class who came together with the help of our teacher. She was kind enough to ask the president of Thompson Island Outward Bound (TIOB) if the AP and Honors Environmental Science could study on the island. Ms. McNally insisted that the trip be all expense paid, she offered to write new curriculum and exchange for her students to go. The president of TIOB went to Vertex and got a $10,000 Grant to pay for our three days and two nights to make this possible. We are also very thankful for having the opportunity to experience something so great without having to worry about the cost.

One of our sophomore's Joyce states "I didn't want to take a part of the trip at first, because I was nervous. Ms. McNally told me how fun and relaxing it would be, so I thought about going but still had some doubts. Now that I'm here, I'm glad I made that decision and this is to me once in a lifetime experience."

One of our junior's Edith states "I felt like I was not going to be capable of doing the activities, but when I arrived I end-up doing well and enjoying my time with my peers. I'm thankful because its my first experience on a island and I feel like I'm becoming a stronger person. Its a memory I'll never forget." 

One of our senior's Timmy states "I felt like it was going to be boring and there wasn't any reason for me to come. But later on when I did the activities things started to change, having the staff telling us their background and the history behind the island things started getting interesting. Now coming here its all worth it.
