School Reviews
5 4/1/2020
I have so many fond memories of my 8 years of school there. We had delicious meals homemade by Gertrude Hunt? She also had a sister, Miss Lintner who taught math. One time a boy was trying to read out loud to his class, and couldn't. Wow, she got so mad; she had him get up, and she put him into the garbage can with papers over his head! Poor guy, hope he'd doing great. We had many class picnics, and day trips. A strict school system, which should still be like that today!!
