Hello from Quincy, Massachusetts!
Quincy is the birthplace of the second and sixth U.S. Presidents: John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams. Quincy is located on the eastern coast of Massachusetts and is only 7 miles from Boston. Our school, the FW Parker Elementary School, was named after the Superintendent of Schools in Quincy, Col. Francis W. Parker. There are 303 students in grades Kindergarten through Grade 5 at our school. We enjoy math, reading, and cheering for the Boston Red Sox! .
