McLaughlin Elementary Bids Fond Farewell

McLaughlin Elementary bids fond farewell after nearly 60 years. Originally Webb Chapel Elementary, the school was constructed in 1959. The name of the school was later changed after the death of its first principal, Neil Ray McLaughlin, in 1967. McLaughlin also served in the school district as a teacher at Carrollton High School, assistant principal at Vivian Field Middle School, and principal at the old Farmers Branch Elementary School.

Finally, McLaughlin Elementary will host a farewell event on May 22, in which students, parents, and alma mater may come to reminisce.

Schedule

5-6 p.m. – Open House
5:45 p.m. – Opening of Time Capsule buried 10 years ago
6-7:30 p.m. – Grade 1-2 choir performance and art show

Mclaughlin Strickland Students Tour “Mooseum”

Mclaughlin Strickland Students Tour “Mooseum”

Fifth graders at the Strickland campus give a tour to the K-2 students at the McLaughlin campus of their milk-minded “mooseum.” As McLaughlin Strickland Elementary students toured the exhibit, 5th grade speakers were at each station, explaining an aspect of milk and its effects on a growing body. Students learned that milk comes from cows and how it gets moved from the farm to the table. Additionally, they learned that milk is full of nutrients that build strong bones. Finally, students engaged in some body-strengthening exercises and saw many displays built from milk cartons.
