Thinking about elementary school [View all]

[ashling]

I'll be 61 in September. I am remembering elementary school. Those were the days!

My old school, Valley Oaks Elementary in Houston - really Hilshire Village - is being torn down at the end of the month. Apparently they are using it for a SWAT exercise.

I remember the Western Jamboree and Spaghetti Suppers, and paper drives, and watching the Mercury space shots on TV. Senora Trevino used to come in once a week and teach us Spanish - "bate, bate, Chocolate" (batay batay Cho kola tay)
5th grade social studies, recess-


We had our Western Jamboree set up in that parking lot - musical chairs and the cake walk.

lots of memories
