There were many smiles, hugs, tears and laughter as the eighth-grade class of 1968 of the Woodland Consolidated School revisited the school they have left 40 years ago. Classmates came from as far away as Boston to reunite in that special friendship that was still evident. While there, alumni toured the school they had entered together as a class in 1961, sharing many vivid memories.
Those in attendance presented a $500 donation to their school, designated toward a new playground to meet the needs of present and future students. The graduation motto of the Class of 1968 was, “Step to the future,” and for one day recently former students stepped back in time and sharing their gratitude to a school that had previously given them so much.
