On Friday, I visited with  Mrs. Guildin’s and Mrs. Eberly’s  fourth grade classes at Richmond Elementary School.   I read part of Pearl of Richmond School.   This was the school where I taught first grade for many years.   It was fun reading my book and being back at Richmond.  I envisioned my character Pearl to attend the one-room school that is behind the present day school.  It is along School Road.   It was called Center School.    Above I posted  a picture of Center School as it looked when Pearl would have gone there.  It was one of the 5 one-room schools that closed when Richmond School opened in 1957. It is still there but has been converted to a home.
