2012 Mineral School Reunion Scheduled
Our next Mineral Springs School Reunion will be held at the Gardendale Civic Center on Saturday, August 11, 2012, from two until four. We are suggesting a $5.00 donation on the day of the reunion to help with the expenses. There will be no phone reminders, so we are relying on all y'all to help spread the word. If you are willing to serve on the committee please e-mail Mary Sorensen Holt at mineralschool@yahoo.com.
Mineral School history
now available on CD and booklet!
Joyce (Fields) Blankenship, who has devoted more time and effort than anyone
in collecting and organizing historical material related to Mineral Springs
School, is now making the fruits of her labor available to all school alumni
and friends. Joyce has prepared a booklet that traces Mineral School
history from the school's founding in Jew Hollow in 1919 until its closing
more than 50 years later. What's more, she has transferred all her
Mineral-related photographs and documents to compact disk where they are
viewable on any computer with a CD/DVD player/burner. Now you have the
chance to read a history and view and enjoy photos and documents about
Mineral School that are not available anywhere else--including this Web
site.
Cost of the booklet and CD is $12.00, plus $2.00 for shipping. For your
copy, e-mail
webmaster@mineralschool.org for purchase instructions. Don't delay.
Reunion News
Another reunion (2010) is in the books. Thanks to all who make these
events possible. Your work is truly appreciated.
There will not be a reunion in 2011, but look for announcements of the 2012
reunion as soon as information becomes available.
Meanwhile, for photos of some of the attendees at the 2009 reunion, see the
reunions page.
What's New on the Site
Several new photos and photo sections have been added to the Mineral
School site since it was initially launched on February 24, 2006. If
Mineralites continue to provide, as we certainly hope they will, additional
photos, documents, and information, the site will continue to grow, and you
will be able to see something new here almost every time you visit. The
easiest way to find out when something has been added or updated is to click
the "What's New" button on the home page to access the latest Web site
updates. Each time something significant is added to the site, you'll see it
announced on the "What's New" page with a handy link to the new addition.
