Have you ever wondered what our old Beverly School looked like long ago? You better believe the things written here because they’re all true. The school now is about 99% different from the old one. If you’ve gone to the past Beverly and not the new one, then you should really come and check it out. So get ready for a trip down memory lane.
Our old Beverly school building was built around the 1950’s. “Everything has changed,” said Mrs. Pardington, a long time teacher at Beverly School. “It had a family feel,” said Pardington. They used to have courtyards in between classes and hallways. There would sometimes be wild animals in the courtyards. One of them had a little pond that had ducklings. “I would have loved to have kept the courtyards,” said Pardington.
Some other rooms that have also had some big changes, are the multi purpose room, library, hallways and classrooms. The multi purpose room, which used to be the gym, had a stage that was built into the floor. When you pushed a button the stage would rise up from the floor. In the media center, we didn’t have as many books. They made a goal of adding books each year, and succeeded! And in the classrooms, they’re about ⅔ smaller than the old ones. That’s because they didn’t have cubbies. They would put all their stuff outside in the hallway. And I bet you didn’t know that much of our old school was originally right where the kindergarten playground is right now!
Well now you know about our dear ol’ past Beverly. Many things have changed over the years. The courtyards, classrooms, hallways, gym, and the media center have all changed. It also used to have only one floor! Hope you like the smooth ride down memory lane.
