Topic: Elementary school Memorie
Hi all,  This is Donna Westle Batterman.  I'm having so much fun reading everyone's blogs.  Stirring up a lot of memories.  I went to Spruance/Fels.  Does anyone remember being in Mrs. Meyer's 4th grade class?  Until she felt your handwriting skills were improved enough to suit her, you were not permitted to be a member of the "Pen Club" and still had to use a pencil.  It was a big deal to belong to the "Pen Club".  Mrs. Kramer was my 1st grade teacher & died a number of years ago.  Her son is one of the OB dr.'s in the area.  I was in 7th grade at Fels on that Friday afternoon when Kennedy was shot.  My 7th grade Social Studies teacher, Mr. Gottlieb made us all make scrapbooks of the whole assassination as an assignment.  My father was really angry that we had to cut up newspapers that were part of history.  So he decided to do make the "Scrapbook" himself because he wanted it done correctly.  The only time my parents did that.  But I got an A.  By the way,  my daughter has taught in Moore for a few years now.  I know in September she will be teaching 4th grade in room 217 in the old building for those of you who can remember it.  I am trying to get off from work for the reunion in October & hope to see you all then.  Now I have to go find my Spruance pictures.
