ALL SCHOOLS REUNION

June 12, 2010
Municipal Building, Catawba
Noon - This is a social event with an historic twist. The idea, formed in 1999, was to include present and former students of south western Price County, focusing on the Kennan-Catawba area. The first reunion was held at the Catawba Elementary School the second Saturday in June of 2000 and it continues annually by popular demand.

     A potluck meal at noon begins the festivities, followed by an informal program which has in the past included displays of photos of the 12 rural school houses, a storyteller, audience participation of shared memories, such as school lunches (carried in syrup or lard pails), walking to school experiences, and playground games. Our most ambitious project was to identify all the teachers who taught in the 12 rural schools and two state graded schools. It is a work in progress, but it has been quite successful. The names will be available to genealogy researchers.

     This event continues to be popular with local people and visitors as well, who come back to reminisce. At the present time, all public schools in this area have closed, so this is truly a part of preserving local history. The event is sponsored by the Jump River Valley Historical Society.
