Goodbye Foster elem. my youngest dd went there. She loved it. It

Jonn : No never forgotten. My youngest daughter that went there said why can't they just leave it up? I mean I went there after all. I said so what if you went there it's not like they're going to leave it up as a shrine to you lol

teatime : Oh, I am too, but you know when one of your kids attends it gives you a little nostalgia lol

sweetie :
If they are going to build a new school , why didn't they fix that one?

RueHic : Cheaper overall to start fresh and modernize. Foster was the first school built in Kingwood, I believe.

RueHic : Foster Elementary was no longer big enough to hold all the kids. And repairs would've been as much as building a new one.

All the older schools will go through this. So excited for the new school to be built but wondering where all those rats will go? Watch out neighboring apartments and homes.

Jonn : Can you imagine being in schools without air. That would be horrible. So did you think they should've left it up as a shrine to you like my youngest DD think lol

So which school are the area students attending now? That must be a lot of kiddos to rezone for a while.

sellbuy : They are going to different elementary here in Kingwood. They divided the kids up.

sweetie : I guess you are right...you would probably hear an implosion.

FatCop : Okey dokey then!

RueHic :
The school was built in 1971, and they were still using Asbestos, it would cost more to remove than to rebuild.

It's kind of crazy to me hearing a school built in 70's being referred to as old. I grew up in Pennsylvania. The high school I attended was built in 1890. Several generations of my family attended it. I guess they don't build to last anymore.
