Rountree Elementary School will celebrate 100 years of education during a special event on Sunday, April 2, 1-3 p.m., at Rountree Elementary School. The celebration will feature tours of the school, games and refreshments. The event is designed for the entire Rountree neighborhood, said Amy Patton, principal at Rountree.

 

"Rountree has such a history in the Springfield community," said Patton. "Rountree has been the heart of the community for 100 years, and it has served as the hub of the neighborhood. We have enjoyed all the unique school stories that have already been shared and are looking forward to hearing many more. Many families have had several generations attend Rountree."

 

Current Rountree students will serve as tour guides at the event. Community members are encouraged to bring old pictures, yearbooks and stories to share at the event.
