The closing of Homer Elementary

Homer elementary was once part of the Northridge school district in Ohio. It was one of three elementaries , along with Hartford and Alexandria (all three were named after the town they were in, and were once kindergarten through 12th grade). The three were pulled together in the 1960's to form one big school district. A high school and middle school have been since built in the middle of the district. Now that the district is short on money, they are closing and tearing down Homer and Hartford, and splitting the elementary students between Alexandria and pod classrooms that will be put in next to the high school.
Since I attended Homer for my elementary schooling, I decided to post a blog of what it looks like inside and out, so people can remember it after it is torn down. If anyone who has access to Hartford would like to do the same, I urge them to do so.
For more information on Northridge school district, and/or for pictures of the other schools, go to http://northridge.k12.oh.us/
I will post pictures shortly. I will also include videos that show a tour of the building.
