The Fontbonne Academy Sixth Annual Social Justice Fair featured the capstone projects of three Braintree students.
Three Braintree residents participated in the Sixth Annual Social Justice Fair at Fontbonne Academy in Milton on Thursday, March 28.

Fontbonne Academy senior, Julia Butts, of Braintree is a very busy young lady. Between her arduous studies—she is in many AP and honors classes—and her many extracurricular activities, you could say she doesn’t have a spare moment. Despite this busy schedule, Julia was able to come up with a great new idea at Fontbonne and then lead a team to execute it this year. “As I was running for National Honor Society (NHS) Officer last year I started thinking of the tenets of NHS: character, service, scholarship, and leadership. I wanted to bring something new to NHS that was tied into these tenets and I came up with ‘Duck in Service Day’ as a way for Fontbonne to extend its service and commitment to all people, everywhere, or what we call here …

Professor Jonathan Chu of the University of Massachusetts Boston History Department visited Fontbonne Academy On November 7. He spoke with students in Ms. Pilla’s Advanced Placement and Honors United States History classes. Focusing on primary sources, Professor Chu helped students to think like historians: question sources, focus on historical context, make connections, and draw conclusions. These skills are necessary for success in college study and, particularly, for success on the essay portions of the AP exam. As Professor Chu told the students, “there is no right or wrong answer here; it is the analysis and explanation you bring to the available facts which will help you build a strong essay.” He also emphasized the importance …
