Salem Trip

By Henry Weinberg ‘16

            A group of students from Lesley University’s Threshold Program went on a trip to Salem, Massachusetts on Sunday, November 1, 2015. It is one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts: established in 1626. Once we got there we went to a performance at Gallows Hill called the Witchcraft and Ghost Experience Show.

                       

                      It’s an incredible mix of special effects, actors, costumes, and story-

                      telling, diversions, exhilarating surprises and jump scares blended

                      with Historical facts about the Salem Witch Trials, ghosts and local

                      legends. The Witchcraft and Ghost Experience is interactive, exciting,  

                      surprising, and immersive. 

There were a lot of mixed emotions from the students during and after the show. After the show, two actors came out from backstage, but because there were many things going on in the show, you would have thought there were more than two actors. The students got a chance after lunch to go shopping at the stores and purchase some unique things that are only sold in Salem. This is definitely a trip that the Threshold students will want to do annually.

A Long Awaited Update!

Greetings All!

 

 

I am so sorry that I have not updated this blog in such a long time. Trust me though, it isn't because there hasn't been a lot happening at Threshold! This year we have completed so many amazing projects, including the completion of Kris House! Kris House is one of Threshold's residence houses in addition to Wilbur House. Now Threshold has two state-of-the-art residence houses that are complexly accessible to all of our students and amazing places for our students to live and learn. I would encourage you all to check out the video that shows what the new Kris House looks like! You can watch the video HERE!

 

Though Threshold students were very busy moving into their new residence houses, we found a lot of time to have some fun in the midst of all the moving, classes, and internships! Threshold went on our first annual Jay Peak ski trip. Thirty Threshold students traveled to Northern Vermont and spent the weekend at the Jay Peak Ski and Water Park Resort. It was an adventure that everyone enjoyed very much and we are hoping to repeat the trip next year. Below are some of the pictures that we took while at Jay Peak.

 

 

 

Thank you all for reading and we give our biggest congratulations to the class of 2015. If you would like to read and see pictures of the amazing graduation ceremony you can click HERE!

Make sure to check back later in the summer! We will be updating the blog and informing you about activities we are planning along with updates on Threshold's office that is now under renovation!

Please feel free to email me with any comments, questions or suggestions you may have. I can be reached at malden@lesley.edu.
