Contribute to The Standard’s look back at Waterville School history

With the end of this current school year in the Allamakee Community School District also marking the end of an era with the Waterville School as part of this area’s formal education system, The Standard will be dedicating pages in an upcoming issue to historical reflections on the Waterville School. Whether alumni of Waterville High School or the more recent Waterville Elementary School, a former staff member or just an interested history buff, members of the general public are asked to contribute photos, reflections or simply their favorite or most vivid memory of their experience with the Waterville School to be published in an anticipated May 23 edition of The Standard.

Contributions can be emailed to news@waukonstandard.com, mailed to The Standard, P.O. Box 286, Waukon, IA 52172 or dropped off at The Standard newspaper office at 15 First Street NW in Waukon between 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a submission deadline of Friday, May 11. Photos brought into The Standard office can be scanned and returned immediately, and all photo submissions should include information identifying the photo content. Memories and reflections should be contributed in good taste in celebration of the school’s storied history. All contributions must be accompanied by the submitting individual’s or organization’s name and town of residence, which will be published along with the contribution.
