‘Hear ye, hear ye!’
Southborough – Fifth-grade musicians lead a parade as family members view the last of many activities at the annual Colonial Day, held April 13 at Neary Elementary School. Students also created colonial crafts and played traditional games. The fun and educational celebration is a longtime tradition at the school, spanning over 30 years.
