Thornhill Public School 160th anniversary
On Friday April 20th, 2007, Thornhill Public School celebrated its
160th anniversary. The reunion assembly and tea party was accompanied
by a display of photographs and other documents and materials from the
school's past.
The Thornhill Archives was pleased to loan the original schoolhouse
bell and the quilt made in 1944, with names of staff and students, for
the occasion. Many other photographs and documents were copied from our
collection for the displays.
