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.
