West Woodland celebrating 100 years

One hundred years ago this month West Woodland Elementary School opened its doors to the first students. More than 40 kids in nine 1st through 8th grade classes were the first to attend.

As part of the centennial celebration, students are doing historical research and conducting interviews which will be collected and published in an anthology. The principal, Marilyn Loveness emailed us the following options for those who went to school there or worked there:

Offer to be one of the former students or staff that is interviewed by students on January 26th. We will gather at 8:45, tour the school and go to a classroom for an interview.

Write a remembrance or story about something that happened at West Woodland and send it to the school via mail or e-mail.

Donate pictures or other West Woodland artifacts by bringing them to the office.

Contact other alumnae or staff
