Whiting School Preparing For 60th Anniversary: What Do You Remember?

Did you attend Whiting School, especially in its earlier years?

As the elementary school in Manchester Township prepares to mark the school’s 60th anniversary, organizers are looking for any items that relate to it, especially from the 1950s to the 1980s.

The staff and students of Whiting School will be celebrating the school’s 60th anniversary on April 2 and they are working on a slideshow showing how the school has changed over the years.

Memorabilia and artifacts will be on display throughout the day. Each grade will represent a different decade showing how the school has evolved since first opening in the 1950s and ending with present day Whiting School.

If you have photos or any other items related to the Whiting School’s history that you’d be willing to loan or even donate, please contact Carol Webster at carolwebster1@gmail.com or Tracy Kiernan at teachertracyone@comcast.net, or call the school at 732-350-4994.
