This article appeared in the Dominion Post Newspaper on December 14, 1999. Return to the listing of articles of December 14, 1999. Not a lot has changed at Flemington Elementary since Sheila McDaniel was a student here. Teachers and parents still know each other by name.
Children quickly learn their way around the two-story structure.
Nothing much has changed, but that suits McDaniel just fine. And now that I'm a teacher, I especially appreciate what a small school can offer. That's because this school is an important part of the community. Vincent spends several hours each week as a school parent volunteer and remembers her own parents being involved in her elementary education. My mom was always here, whether she was working in the library or just helping the teachers.
