Springville Elementary School was originally a K-8 school.

I went to this school in the 60’s. Two grades per classroom were taught by one teacher. No kindergarten in 1966…. no cafeteria. No fences..you brought a sack lunch if u had one (or shared with those who did) and ate on the lawn.
I started the first grade in 1946 and graduated from Springville in 1954. I have been trying to find class pictures of Mrs. Virginia in 1948 or 49 not sure when I had her as a teacher. Was wondering where I could go to find pictures.
Thank You
