Walking to Birchland Park...
Posted Monday, July 27, 2009 09:22 AM

I am sure everyone remembers how many bomb scares we had but do remember us at one time walking all the way to Birchland Park.  It still amazes me that the whole school walked over there.

I hope someone else remembers so I know it really happened.

Hi Marilyn!

Yes, the bomb threat really happened. I also remember one bomb threat - our first ever in the history of the Town of EL - in 8th grade when we had to walk from Birchland to the High School.

Wow, that would have been a long walk.

Strange, I can not remember it.

 

What did they do with us when we got there?

Marilyn and Donna,

 

After thinking about it...I was a walker living right across the street from the HS. If we went from HS to Birchland  then I would have walked home instead.

 

Donna seems to think this hapend in 8th grade. If so then I would have been part of the walk to the HS. I had to have missed that day.

 

I sure hope someone else remembers this.

Hi Marilyn, Linda and Donna,

How wonderful to reconnect with you all ! In 8th grade we walked to the hs from Birchland Park Jr High because of the bomb scare. Can you imagine what people must have thought seeing throngs of kids walking en masse thru the center of town on the way to ELHS?! At least it was a nice day because it seemed like a very long walk!
