I remember the old wooden gym. I spent a few moments in there periodically. Back in 1973. Mrs. Bosenburg was our 1st grade teacher.

You must be very young. I remember the old wooden gym when I went to Bratt back in the 80s. The whole building would shake when you ran through it and it had those huge gas space heaters. Now that’s old!

They should rebuild the gym it’s been up too long to just be painted over….

Oh no! That was the only part of the school left that I could look at and remember being the same from when I was a kid.

I remember insulation from the ceiling falling back when I went to Ernest Ward in 2000-2003. I surely hope that’s some thick paint to hold that building together.

Let me guess a mascot painted on the front? haha

I know who painted the mascot inside the gym now back in 1991. He’s a local disabled artist that has been on NE before.
