This is the old Camargo Elementary School. It was replaced with the new elementary when I was in 4/5th grade. Late eighties/early ninties.

WOW!!! Brings back wonderful memories! Started 1st grade here in 1959 with four wonderful friends that are still apart of my life. I returned here to teach in 1977, after 4 years of college and 1 1/2 years teaching at Mapleton. This school had been a part of my life until the New one was built and I retired in 2006!! Love seeing the softball field, tennis courts and playground!! So thankful my daughters had the opportunity to experience this school!!!

I attended grade school here in the early to mid-1970s ..
My grandparents lived on 460 beside the Methodist Church , so I would walk to And from school every day that school was in session.. unless I was fortunate enough for my father to pick me up sometimes when he got off work early .. I remember sitting at the top of those big steps at the front entrance to the school waiting on him ..
In the mornings me and my older sister would walk to school and we would go down mcCormick Road and enter the back entrance of the school beside the lunchroom .. I can still remember the ladies that worked in the kitchen sitting out on their back porch of the lunchroom peeling potatoâ™s..
And remembering the playground, in my childâ™s mind it seemed to be huge .. recess was my favorite class ..LOL
Hated to see them tear it down, but later in life my children attended school at Camargo elementary and I drove their school bus..
A lot has changed but every morning when I drove in to unload my students , I always remembered the old breezeway that lead in through the break room with an Ale8 machine and Mr. Wills would greet you either on the breezeway or inside the gymnasium before you went to breakfast ..
I think my favorite place in the whole school was the basement library.. I can still smell the old in the air when you would walk down the steps to enter the library ..
Those were definitely good tines..
