It is said the New England minutemen could be ready for battle in less than sixty seconds during the American Revolution. GMS 8th grade history classes participated in the fifth annual Minuteman relay race this year to have some fun and fresh air.
Our GMS minuteman relay race is held this time each year . History teachers form teams of "minutemen" that are required to put on a shirt, pants, and a vest. They then grab their musket and their hat and race a specified distance. Back at the starting point, the racers take their minuteman clothing off and the next minuteman repeats the process until all minutemen reach the finish line. Teachers Mr. Kennedy, Mr. McCay, and Mr. Adams appreciate everyone that participated.
