This Sunday, Nov. 20, the former Walla Walla Elementary School in Geary County will be remembered during a reunion. The school, founded in the 1870s served students until it closed in 1962. The reunion will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the Grandview Plaza City Building.
Karen Erichsen said the school was located northwest of Junction City. According to Ella Moloney it was a one-room school house with one teacher for eight grades. June 17, 1872 students first met in a home and decided to organize the school. The building was first built in 1874.
Erichsen said she believes that there are a lot of former Walla Walla school students in the community. Moloney is hoping the publicity about the reunion will help attract those people to attend.
