coolspring-elementary-holds-80th-anniversary-celebration_01Coolspring alumni, former teachers, current students and staff, and parents all came out to enjoy and reminisce. Activities included rock painting (rocks will be added to the school courtyard garden), face painting, a bounce house (always popular), a scavenger hunt based on school history and much more, including a display of historic documents and photos in the school library.

To mark the anniversary, the school also refurbished an old concession stand on the property this year, thanks to a grant from Lowe's -- it will be used as an outdoor science classroom.
