Lake Center Elementary School
Barb Mendham Sabia: I just loved Lake Center Elementary. I had so many nice teachers and many great times. I lived through the field behind Lake Center Elementary when I was growing up. My sister and I went to the elementary school and took pictures before it was torn down. We sure will miss the old school. What ever happened to the time capule we kids put in the ground many years ago near the syccamore tree that was in front of the school?
