Irondequiot Post: School Closing Results in a Bittersweet Final Day

The Irondequiot Post reports on the final day of classes at St. Margaret Mary, which has closed after 75 years.

The significance of the day was still on the little ones’ minds. Children were crying at the end-of-the-year assembly and prayer service that preceded the carnival, parent Linda Pizzo said. When she walked into her twins’ fourth-grade classroom, students were all sitting in a circle, crying, while their teacher tried to encourage them that they’ll stay in touch. “There’s just not a good thing about this,” she said.
