There is going to be an All Classes Reunion for Central School on June 18th from 1-4 p.m. I would love if you would be able to attend! It is going to be held at Mickey Finn's and we are arranging a tour of the school with the developers.

Martha,
Could you let me know when the Central School reunion arranges a tour with the developers? I would love to hear what alums have to say about how the school has changed.
Thanks!

Central School in Libertyville. 2 of my children went to kindergarten there. In fact 1 of them thought it would be fun to play @Adler Park rather than going to class. She and a friend left and everyone thought they were "nabbed"

I also dawdled quite often on the way to and from Central -- my mom often would have to walk the route to school to see why I hadn't gotten to school. Most notorious one is when I sat down on the sidewalk to watch the city crews working on putting up the Christmas decorations, for an hour.
There is going to be an All Classes Reunion for Central School on June 18th (during Libertyville Days) from 1-4 p.m. I would love if your children would be able to attend! It is going to be held at Mickey Finn's Brewpub.

Wow I was shocked to see that Central School in now a housing development. I was searching for pictures to show my daughter where I went to school. I was there K-4. I started in 1977 and then transferred to Butterfield in 1982. I wish I had known about the reunion I would have tried to make it. Major bummer but thanks for the info on the school. I can't wait to tell her about it.
