College begins in kindergarten at the Philbrick

To celebrate College Month in the Boston Public Schools, the Philbrick Elementary School has held a series of events and activities to get young students thinking about higher education. The school participated in "Represent Your Alma Mater Day" with a school-wide assembly at which all 154 students wore a T-shirt from colleges and universities throughout the country. (See coverage in the Roslindale Transcript.) Pictured here is fifth grade student Jeremiah Dungeniss, wearing a T-shirt from Fisk University, the alma mater of Superintendent Carol R. Johnson.
