Upper Twp. "School Days"
The general meeting will be held at the Upper Township Branch of the
Cape May County Library. Refreshments at 7 pm and the meeting at 7:30
pm.
This will be
another ‘sharing program’ by many of our longtime Upper Township
residents. It will be entitled: UPPER TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS: FROM THE PAST TO
THE PRESENT, or ‘School Days’. If you attended any of the numerous
schools in our township, this is your chance to share your memories and
recollections. There will be a display of pictures and items from the
first school in 1801 to the most recent ones. You have plenty of time to
look through your closets and the attic to find report cards, class
photos and certificates. We would like to scan them and return the
originals so we can add to our society’s collection. Our fall program on
the railroads was very interesting and this one should prove to be just
as fascinating. Let’s hear from YOU!
