Opening the Time Capsule
|
On Pennypack Pride Day, May 26th, the contents of the
25 year-old time capsule were revealed to the students, staff, and parents of Pennypack Elementary School. |

Prior to that "reveal", the time capsule was dug up and retrieved by our custodian, Mr. Ed:
The box was in very poor condition and the contents sustained a great deal of water damage:
Luckily, much of the students' "letters to the future" were salvageable. Here are a few samples:
Several former Pennypack students whose work was being displayed, came back for the Capsule-Opening Ceremony. They spoke to the students about what school life was like for them back in 1982.
Pennypack's 2005-2006 Fifth Grade Class presented to the school a new time-capsule. This time-capsule will be buried during the 2006-2007 school year. The students are already providing suggestions for what items should be placed in the box, which will be opened 25 years from now!
