Sanford School Demolition Photos - May 6th

It's been a few days since I've put up any photos of the destruction of Sanford Avenue School, though I've been taking photos every few days of their progress. Or should I call it egress, as the destruction isn't really progressive. When is the blind destruction of a structure of historical interest actually progressive.

There are three galeries on the My Barton Village Facebook page with photos from April 30th, May 2nd and May 6th.

Sanford Memories

• Each year we held a haunted house in Gym B, which was a maze constructed of crash mats. The grade five class got to hide throughout the maze and pretend to be ghosts and scare the younger kids. We also made spooky things for younger kids to put their hands into, like cold spaghetti to simulate something gross.
• The Christmas concert was also held in Gym B, with parents sitting on wooden benches and the choir at the front of the gym singing Christmas carols.
• Every morning in the final week of school before Christmas break the entire student body would come to the front foyer after morning announcements to sing Christmas carols.
