Adam Ginsburg

We owe a huge THANK YOU to Adam Ginsburg, an architect out of Bristol, VT. He worked with Cornwall 4th and 5th graders to visit schoolhouse number 2, the Firehouse, for our Cornwall School History unit. He taught us about accurate measurement, how to draw each side of the building, and how to photograph it. We then used this data to make a scale drawing of the building and will eventually make a scale model of it! We also would like to thank the Cornwall Fire Department for hosting us. Check out some of our amazing work!








































Tour of Cornwall School


Former teacher and Principal, Mr. Isenburg, took Cornwall students on a tour of Cornwall School. He pointed out changes that have been made to the original building and interesting things that we had never noticed before!








Enjoying the Spring Weather!
