Great Neck School's Time Capsule Opening Taking Place in September

In 1990, the staff and students from Great Neck Elementary School buried a time capsule on the school grounds, the Waterford Schools website noted recently.

“In the years that followed, the original Great Neck School was demolished and a new structure built on the same site,” staff wrote. “The time capsule was carefully removed prior to construction and has been stored until the time came to open and reveal the very special contents.”

Twenty-five years have passed and the time capsule will be opened. A ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21, in the Great Neck School cafeteria, 165 Great Neck Rd., Waterford.

Former students, staff and interested community members are invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
