| The SJHS time capsule made by Mr. Rencher | 159.71 KB |
Everyone at SJHS is getting ready for the new school, coming to us next year! To commemorate moving to a new school, we have put together a time capsule, to be opened 20 years from now!
Over the summer Mr. Rencher, a CTE teacher at SJHS, spent lots of time in his classroom making our time capsule. He said that he made it from old doors that were in the basement of the school. The whole capsule is made of items from the school, except for the rope that holds it up.
“We want to celebrate the traditions of SJHS and make connections to the past,” said Mr. VanAusdal, the principal of SJHS. “We want people to be able to reflect on the rich history of SJHS and realize that where they are now was set in place by the past.”
Ms. Miley, an assistant principal at SJHS, said that the meaning of what goes in the capsule is what is important, not the size of the object and not just getting your idea put in.
Mrs. Murdock, the finance secretary at SJHS, said that she is excited for future students to see what is in the capsule. However, they cannot bring it to its full potential without more submissions! You can go to the front office for more information on how to submit an idea.
Many students at SJHS are excited to get a new school next year. Lauryn Davis, an eighth grade student at SJHS, said that she thinks that the time capsule is cool and she does not want everyone to forget the memories we have here. When asked what she thinks the reaction will be when it is opened she said, “I think they’ll be like, ‘Woah, look, my mom’s picture is in there!’”
We are all very excited to get a new school, and the time capsule is a great way to keep memories of this building fresh.
