What a wonderful project to share with the children and community. It’s nice to see that some communities value their history. Good job!
I was a student at this school in the late 1960s. I returned as the day custodian while I was in graduate school. These mosaics look familiar but I don’t remember where they were located. Were they downstairs in the cafeteria turned library?
