Milton School to Host Ben Franklin Impersonator For Day Long Program

The Milton School will be having a well-known Ben Franklin impersonator, Chris Lowell, visit the school to celebrate Constitution Day. Thanks to the generosity of the Milton PTO, the students will have an opportunity to learn about one of this country's most important founding fathers.  As well as a consummate politician, Ben was recognized as an accomplished scientist, inventor, printer, and philosopher who continually displayed a curiosity about the world around him. As well as discussing his importance in history, Chris will discuss how tolerance, community service, ethical behavior and a sense of optimism were at the core of Ben's life and that these traits are still necessary today for happiness and success. Please join us for one of his presentations.    (An added bonus is that Chris actually attended Milton School when he was a student! Here is his web site: http://www.benfranklinlive.org )
