Throwback Thursday!
From the 2000 Northern Lites yearbook.
On May 20, 1990, Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Woodruff’s second grade classes buried time capsules filled with pictures and writings from the students. Nearly ten years later, on April 28, 2000, the students, now seniors, dug them up and shared laughs, stories, and memories together once again.
