What Elementary School Did You Go To?
You don't have to mention the name.
Mine was a Catholic School,1st Grade through 8th Grade,learned a lot,those Nuns where tuff;)
Kindergarten through eighth grade. Domincan nuns. Or penguins as the bad boys called them.
Dwight Eisenhower Elementary, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas
&
Kate Waller Barrett Elementary, Arlington, VA
Suburban public school, grades 1-6. Right before lunch, the teachers would say a brief prayer out loud, then sent us to the cafeteria. (Yeah, I’m that old).
Second grade through 10th grade DoD schools in Puerto Rico, Oklahoma, France, Germany and England. New teachers new friends almost every year.
Public school
K-12 in one building.
14-16 students per grade.
8th grade shop class competition to create the paddle that the Principal would use the following year.
EVERYONE could hear when he used it
K-3 Loucks, then 4-5 Thomas Jefferson, then 6-8 Washington. I was in a program 4-8th grades that ended up being consolidated in the district at Washington. Peoria, IL public schools.
We kids use to call the School the Pen.
Saint Andrews, in Sloan, NY
Our Lady of the Mountains Academy, Paintsville KY, circa 1950s.
Catholic, Kindergarten through 8th grade, Incarnate Word nuns.
3 schools by the time I was in second grade. Three more grade schools for a total of six. All but 1st grade Catholic. Three HS.
James Fenimore Cooper. South Minneapolis.
Five different ones between Ohio, Indiana, and Florida and that just up to 6 grade (and no the military wasn’t involved).
Let me see...
I went to two schools in the first grade,
an entirely different school in the second grade,
two different schools in the third grade,
still another different school in the forth grade,
two schools in the fifth and sixth grade.
Finally I went to the same school for more than two years in the seventh through ninth grade.
My dad was in construction and we moved around a lot when I was a kid.
They spelled ‘were’ with an ‘h’?
K-7th Grade (1952-60) #21 School aka Jonathan Child School, Rochester, NY. You know you’re old when the hospital you were born in was torn down, the grammar school you attended is now a senior citizen housing complex, and the high school you graduated from was razed.
Woodrow Wilson Grade School. At class in second grade when Kennedy was shot. I don’t believe I ever showed up without my pocketknife.
West Point, NY
