They walked the streets of old Hollywood and saw stunt shows and Indiana Jones. Finally, that evening, they went to Downtown Disney where they dressed up for some shopping and a nice dinner. As chaperones and teachers at Hopedale Highschool, Marie Urmston, Chris Chatham, Brian Kiesan and Talitha Oliveri were all very impressed with all of the senior’s behavior and maturity over the course of the trip. “The students represented their school and town very well at the hotel and the parks!” “At one point, several students gave up their seats to mothers and children on
