The Beginning of the End of the School

Mama and I sat in a shady spot across the street from the school.

Mama only took one picture of me in front of the demolition the morning it started--she really needs to work on making sure there is enough light on my face

There was a small music room that they tore out first--then they started on the gymnasium

There were always 10 to 15 people watching that first morning--not so many people once the temperature reached one hundred.

They made it inside the gym

From a different angle--the only opening in the fence
