Evacuation Day
O
bserved on March 17th annually in Suffolk County, Massachusetts and the public schools in Somerville, Massachusetts, Evacuation Day is a holiday which commemorates the evacuation of British forces from the city of Boston after the Siege of Boston. Some of the cities in Suffolk County include Boston, Chelsea, Winthrop, and Revere. Since Evacuation Day also falls on St. Patrick’s Day, many people combine the two holidays into one big holiday. However, there are some Boston residents, especially those who live in Suffolk County, who celebrate Evacuation Day as a holiday in its own right. These people may attend re-enactments of the Siege of Boston, visit historically significant sites in the area or participate in essay contests.

IRISH SODA BREAD SCIENCE
T
raditional Irish Soda Bread contains only four ingredients: flour, salt, buttermilk and soda. Soda is the key ingredient that led to the birth of this particular type of bread (hence the name) because until its introduction in the 1840’s, it was difficult to create a loaf bread that would “rise” with the wheat found in Ireland. Making soda bread is a great way to share the science of soda with your lads and lasses.
