MKES Cornerstone Celebration

Members of the Mt. Kisco community marked the 100th birthday of the building that is now Mt. Kisco Elementary School at the Cornerstone Celebration on Saturday, May 12. Festivities included the local Fife and Drum Corps, a flag raising, cheerleaders, and tours of the school, which included a "museum" of photos, maps, and artifacts, as well as the garden on the site of the old high school tennis court.

Artifacts were lent by community members, including members of the Mt. Kisco Historical Society. Over the past month, students interviewed alums, including senior citizens who attended high school - and some who attended all 12 grades - at what used to be the Mt. Kisco Public School/Mt. Kisco High School. Yearbooks and photos were displayed and videotapes of interviews were played.

This was a wonderful way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our school.
