A visit to the New Haven Elementary in New Haven, NY

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of visiting the New Haven Elementary School in New Haven, NY - on the border of Mexico. I started this journey on Monday, as I drove to Oswego, NY - which is on Lake Ontario.

My first view of Lake Ontario.

I also took in some of the local color....

Yep, I stopped in and tanned, $5. for 20 minutes - seemed like a bargain to me.

...and did some sightseeing.

The best part of my trip was visiting the school! These kids win the award for the best students ever, K-4, these guys were fabulous! And I can't say enough about the staff at New Haven Elementary! My visit was organized by their wonderful art teacher, Debbie Tagliareni - who set up a luncheon in my honor - complete with freshly roasted turkey! Tables of food - it was amazing!

Thank you so much for having me!

The older students measure out the size of a whale shark, basking shark, and reticulated python.

The younger students draw eyeballs along with me.

My mother was born on May 22, 1911 on a farm owned by Adlebert & Bernice Carkey and I am trying to put together a 'family' scrap book.

Would anyone have any old pictures of the town, the one room shcool house etc??

I would GREATLY apprieciate it. Thank you ever so much. Diane
