Special to the Sun
On November 20, 2025, the Josiah Quincy Elementary School will celebrate 178 years of educating Boston’s children with their Dragons F.I.R.E. Fundraiser. The evening event will be filled with tradition, live music, and a delightful 10-course meal, taking place at the Empire Garden Restaurant in Chinatown.
By instilling F.I.R.E. values — Focus, Integrity, Respect, and Empathy — the school strives to shape the future leaders of the city and beyond.
