[joneschick]

14. County Line School Germantown WI

There was no kindergarten program until I was in 3rd or 4th grade......I was so jealous of all the neat stuff I obviously missed.

[mockmonkey]

57. I went to Highway View

for some reason for one grade, it was a very tiny school. Later did you go to Kennedy Middle School or Germantown High School?

[joneschick]

80. Yes, I did

Kennedy Middle and Washington High. They told us we had "biology ponds" but the high school was built on a swamp!

It now has different windows, a hot lunch program (we walked home for lunch), and a computer lab.

[boilerbabe]

52. My brother went there!!

We lived on Partridge Ave in Beloit. We moved back to Maine right before I started school, so I went to Aroostook Avenue School in Millinocket, Maine. This school has been closed down for many years.

Do you still live in the Beloit area? Do they still get tornadoes?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

53. Not since 1962

:-)

I mean, I haven't lived there since then.

I don't know about the tornadoes. We get them here in Minnesota.

[boilerbabe]

93. We were there in '62

Maybe we crossed paths... I remember a Tornado that went through our neighborhood in (I think) 1964. So you missed that one only to move to another Tornadoland?? I didn't know Minnesota had weather like that. I always envision snow and people with reindeer sweaters!

XXXOOO

[One_Life_To_Give]

18. Kindergarten was held in a Church basement

There wasn't enough room in the towns schools. So Kindergarten Classes were held in the basement of the 1st Congregational Church. Sisters Kindergarten was held at the Wapping Community church annex a couple years, After yeah thats it after:-) Eventually they managed to get Kindergarten into the Elementary Schools don't remember how many years after my class that happened.

[Mojambo]

19. Fall City Elementary

Sure didn't look like that when I went there.

[Ariana Celeste]

[Mojambo]

43. When did you go to Mount Si?

I went there for my first two years before transferring to an alternative school.

[Ariana Celeste]

63. 00/01

I was a Sophomore that year.
I wanted to go to the alternative school afterwards (3 Rivers was it?) but I ended up moving back to my mom's house in Tacoma.

[NewWaveChick1981]

24. Westchester Elementary School, Decatur, GA, 1969-1973

When I started there in first grade, it was grades 1-6. However, when I got to fifth grade, the school district switched things around and Westchester only had grades 1-4. I was bused across town to a more "racially diverse" (that's what they called it) elementary school for grades 5-6---Beacon Elementary. Beacon didn't stay like that forever, because it's now the Decatur Police Station. :) Westchester just gave up being an elementary school and is now administrative offices for the school district.

At the end of 6th grade, we moved to NC.

being killed.

[WolverineDG]

28. Ben Milam Elementary

I had three outstanding teachers

First Grade: Mrs. DeWeese :thumbsup: She remembered me at graduation & sent me a small gift. She had long since retired by then but would always win cars given away in those "guess how many marbles are in this jar" contests. Her answers always were the number of students she taught while she was a teacher. ::sniff:: RIP Mrs. DeWeese.


Third Grade: Miss Pope :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: She was "famous," having written a book & all http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?wtit=Rainbow%20Era%20on%20the%20Rio%20Grande%2E%20%2D I still think that all kids should spend some time learning their local history.

Sixth Grade: Mrs. Castanon She let the smart kids do "contract lessons" for A's & extra credit & was still using the slide show a friend & I made of the solar system when she retired.

Thank the stars and my parents, I got to attend the public highschool.

[av8rdave]

89. Wow...Ft Huachuca...used to fly into the airfield there a lot

when I was an AF instructor pilot in the early 80s. "Hoochie Coochie," we called it. We were always treated well there.

46. Minnie Howard Elementary School, Alexandria, VA

Unless, you want to count kindergarden. I think it was Oak Ridge Elementary School, Arlington, VA.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. Ager Road Elementary

It's been demolished, and a new school, Rosa Parks Elementary, stands in its place.
The building in which I attended school had two wings. One was built in the late 1940s and the other was added in the early 1960s.

We had no air conditioning. In the warm weather, classrooms would open doors and windows to let the air cross-ventilate. And sometimes they'd place huge fans in the doorways to help the air out a little.

There was a creek in back of the playground that had a habit of overflowing. Whenever the creek seemed close to flood stage, they'd let us out of school early. :-)

[blondeatlast]

48. Pueblo, Colorado; Highland Park Elementary. nt

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. St. Francis Academy, Union City, NJ

That bitch Sister Roberts made me right-handed. She's probably dead now and in hell if there is one. She was one of those nuns that loved to beat up on kids. I see from the website though that my really nice 2nd grade teacher Ms. Hogan is still there teaching 2nd grade. They're all lay teachers now. That's a good thing for the students, because those nuns were vicious.

[1gobluedem]

70. First and only...

Wilkshire Elementary in Haslett, MI. So called because it was built on donated land from the old Wilkins farm. The White Pine my first grade class planted in 1966 is huge now. The school was pretty new then and every class planted a different tree native to Michigan on the front lawn. They're all still there.

[Floogeldy]

[doc03]

76. Wow, my school would fit in one room of that one, went

to Colerain Elementary School, Colerain, OH. We had 4 rooms two grades in each. Not the Colerain near Cincinnati the other side of the state near Martins Ferry..

[Fleshdancer]

77. Winn Elementary. Went on academic probation the year after I left

My memories include rain dripping through the roof and buckets situated around the classroom to catch the drips. Sharing text books with the classmate next to me because there wasn't enough for all of us. Cramped rooms and not enough attention from the teacher because the punk kid who caused all the trouble got ALL the attention. I had great friends though and a number of teachers who really did work hard with the few resources they were given.

My last year attending Winn we had a new principal and she did wonders to turn the school around. I was in awe of her because in my little world, she was the most powerful figure outside of my parents AND she was a woman. That meant a lot to me.

[Left Is Write]

78. I only attended one elementary school: Sioux Trail.
