Students say final goodbyes to Stuart Wood
KAMLOOPS — Stuart Wood Elementary is officially closed, marking the end of an era that lasted 109 years.
A final assembly in the confines of the gym at Stuart Wood, no longer fit for modern education. The students serenading the school with a swan song, their final goodbye.
“I’m going to miss how old it is,” said one student after the assembly. “I’ve been here since kindergarten, and a lot of my friends have moved away, but it’s still an awesome school.”
The building dates back to 1907 and has housed hundreds of thousands of students during that time, and even the most recent students got a taste of what education was like a century ago.
