My school. Owego had 1-8th, though I left after 4th and we had no 7/8 graders then. There were four classrooms I think. 1-3 in one, 4-6 in another, 7-8 and a music/art room. There was a bunch of cool old stuff from the "old school" in the former 7/8 room and about 50 desks above the stage. I have many good memories of my years there.

Owego Elementary School, 18034 North 2100E Road, Pontiac, Illinois. Illinois State Route 116 is off the lower RH corner of the picture. Located about 6-miles due east of Pontiac, Illinois. Today this building is the Pontiac Christian School. Looking NE in the picture.
