School anniversary

The school was built with money invested in war bonds during World War II and was dedicated in honor of Waterford’s veterans by Dr. Roswell Hubbard in the fall of 1949. It consolidated the pupils from many one- and two-room rural Waterford schools.

A major renovation and additions to the school were made in 1994. There will be pictures and other artifacts to see, as well as recollections of former principals, the late Dorothy Scribner and Tony Waldeier.

who fixes things around his farm with a snap of his suspenders.

Participants will also listen to author Jane
Yolen’s newest autumn themed book, “The Scarecrow’s Dance,” which is the
story of a scarecrow who dances away from his post one night. Following the stories, each participant will be able to choose from a variety of craft activities. Refreshments will be served.
