This centennial celebration was such a wonderful community event.  We celebrated the life of a school that has truly brought a community together for 100 years.  Teri Carlson did an outstanding job with her team of helpers.  They have worked for a year (or more) to make this day such a success.  The weather was perfect and a great time was had by all.
