A few weeks ago I found out that the elementary school that I went to is being torn down! *sniff* It has been closed for a few years now. Another causality of the economy and people moving out of our state, therefore, no little kiddies to fill it. The good news is that the city is going to leave the area as a park! A big high five on that one! I went to check it out and say goodbye last week. Since, I still live near it and still drive by from time to time, I was surprised at how sentimental it was for me. So many memories, kindergarten through sixth grade! The door where they would post the teacher you would have that coming school year, my first grade classroom, the spot we would line up to go in from recess, the place I met my best friend, who is still my best friend 27 years later!
By the time I found out about it and got over to take some photos the demo had already begun.
I had my Mom dig up a couple photos. This was taken in 1982, my first day of kindergarten, check out my killer dress! My Mom, the redhead in the photo on the left, was pregnant with my brother. The boy and the woman in the photo on the right, were our next door neighbors and our families are still close friends to this day. He went on to become a professional soccer player. And to think I was annoyed that he always was trying to get me to play soccer with him! :)
Now
My brothers first day of kindergarden, 1988.
Now
Some of the playground equipment is still there from when I was in school.
If I remember correctly, this was Mrs. Wards third grade classroom when I was there.
A shout out to all the Hull Huskies!
