YPA presented its annual Michael Eversmeyer Promise Award to an inspiring group of students and teachers at Peabody High School, who are writing a book about their community (more on the book http://www.youngpreservationists.org/peabody-high-school-students-publish-book). YPA is proud to present the 2011 Promise Award to these promising future preservationists!
The event also included a walking tour of the former Fifth Avenue High School, which is being rehabilitated into apartments!
