History came to life at Long Beach Middle School on Nov. 27, when seventh-graders received an 18th Century experience and learned about the American Revolutionary War. 

Colonial Day kicked off a unit on colonial times by providing a realistic portrayal of some of the events that occurred and practices that existed. Members of the Huntington Militia presented reenactments that engaged students and displayed artifacts such as a historic cannon. Meanwhile, in the auditorium, performer Max Rowland presented music from the colonial era.
