Still seeking submissions

In the May 14 edition of the Item, I put in a brief looking for submissions RE: the three Hamburg Area Elementary schools slated to close by the end of the month. I am planning on a special feature in an issue coming up very soon, but would really like some community feedback and hopefully some memories of attending these schools.

If you're a former student, teacher, or staff member at Upper Bern, Strausstown or Hamburg Elementary, I'd love to hear from you. Please either comment on this post, call the Item at 610-562-7515. Photos are great, too, and we can make arrangements for you to drop them off here at the office, or if you feel like you'll never get them back from us, you can wait while they're scanned.
