Sleepy Hollow Cemetery provides clues

Potter Junior High School language arts department sets the scene for a Halloween activity.

Seventh-graders at Potter Junior High School read the epitaph on the back of this gravestone as part of a language arts lesson on Halloween.

Epitaphs in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at Potter Junior High School are displayed for an English language arts project.

Potter Junior High School language arts students use real-life clues from 1800s epitaphs to think at a higher level by making inferences about the lives of the departed.

Potter Junior High School teacher Laura Herter works with seventh-graders Katie Youngren and Ava Nobles to help them analyze the clues from the school's temporary cemetery to learn about the people who lived in the 1800s.
