A celebration of Robert Moore School last night.
Students and teachers, past and present, gathered to reminisce and enjoy talent from current students.
Event organizer and teacher Cynthia Donald says it gave people a chance to visit the school one final time
"It is a big part of this town," says Donald, "so I thought, you know, people see it and think its going to be here forever. There's just so much history with it."
Vice-principal Cam Keast says last night was a time to reminisce.
"A lot of people are here to look at some of the memorabilia that's been placed around the school to see," says Keast. "It's just great to see such a nice turnout tonight."
Vivian Olson, a student in 1942, was among those to return.
"I really loved public school," says Olson. "That's why I kept this autograph book from way back when. I got all these people in it and teacher who wrote in it. Some painted little pictures."
Grace Roy a graduate from the class of 1949 walked the halls again with many fond memories
"All my family went here," says Roy. "All my brothers and sisters had the same teacher. She was Joan Brown and become Joan Benson. Everyone of us had her and there's a 24-year span from the oldest to the youngest."
The school closes its doors after 97 years with students moving to new facilities in the fall.
