We have class pictures of the 1960s and recall the teachers
I am organizing a Carr school reunion for our class (Kindergarten 1966). I have contacted our two Principals, Mr Gattuso and Mr Gallucci as well as most of our classmates. I’m still trying to locate some of our teachers and photos of our school at the time
I went to Carr school in mid 60’s and would like to know about the reunion.

Hi Debbie
We are the NNHS graduating class of 1979 but I’m organizing our Carr school elementary reunion
So fun
Maybe you would want to organize one for your class?
I am from the HS graduating class of 1977, but am curious about the 2020 reunion. Did it occur? (Presumably virtual if it did). I was at Carr School from Kindergarten to 6th grade. Many memories, and somewhere all of my class pictures.
Hi Andy
This is Barbara
Your sister Julie is planning to come
Maybe you could come together?
From K through 6th grade my teachers: Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Aston, Miss Ward, Mrs. Sables, Mrs. Black., Mrs Cronin, and Mrs. Ravesi
Attended 1956-1962
I recall “The Pit” as well as playing red rover red rover on the hill leading to the pit
I was in all those teacher’s classrooms, Jack. 1950-56. Would have been nice to see them add Carr to the name in memorium. Horace Mann-Carr School. Remember Mr LaFlamme doing the ‘going on a lion hunt’ with us waiting for safety drills to end??
