Come Join Us for
Enfield School's 51st Birthday Party
June 4, 2010 – 5:30 – 7:00 pm
Enfield Elementary School

We are looking for 6th and 5th grade class pictures from 1980-81; 81-82; 89-90; 91-92; 94-95;99-00; 00-01;01-02. Can any one with these copies of these pictures? Make sure you come to the celebration and share your memories.

   Enfield Elementary School opened its doors to students on September 8, 1958.  This year is Enfield School's 51st Birthday and we want to celebrate!!!
   I would like to ask your help in putting together a list of teachers, staff, etc. from the Enfield School through its 51 years. 
   If you and or family members attended the Enfield Elementary School could make a list of teachers, etc. while you were at the school to send to me it would be very greatly appreciated!
   In response to many inquiries, it's our hope to have the graduation photos from the 50 classes up on the walls again.  Many of the pictures have fallen into disrepair so will need to be replaced.  If your family or organization would like to sponsor the framing of a class picture, please send a check in the amount of $25 to the Enfield Community Council, Box 214, Jacksonville, NY 14854.  The Community Council will then have the pictures finished.

Please pass this message on to others you might would be interested in this project.

American Civil War (2011-2015)

The approaching Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War (2011-2015) offers the current generation of Americans a most important opportunity to know, discuss, and commemorate this country's greatest national crisis, while at the same time exploring its enduring relevance in the 21st century. (National Park Service - http://cwar.nps.gov/civilwar/civilwar.htm.

One of the many projects I have in mind for the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War is to put together a booklet on the men who joined the military representing the Town of Enfield during the civil War (1861-1865). I would like to tell the stories of their lives during and after the war.  Where did they live, who were their families, why did they join the war, what did they experience.  A lot of these questions we may never know about or perhaps your family has stories that have been passed down that you would like to share, or is there a diary in your attic, family pictures?  If you would like to help with this project or share your family history give me a call or send me an email (272-6412 / sdt1@cornell.edu)
