MURFREESBORO — Homer
Pittard Campus School is inviting former students, staff members and friends to
an upcoming throwback picnic celebration on its grounds.
The
“Reunion Picnic on the Lawn” will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 10, at
the school, located at 923 E. Lytle St. in Murfreesboro.
Sponsored
by Friends of Campus School and the Parent Teacher Club, the picnic will have a
theme of “Celebrating the ‘50s! Dance to the Oldies.” Food will be provided by
the PTC and no reservations are required.
Rita
King, Friends of Campus School president, said attendees are in for a
treat, with an area dance group performing classic swing routines as well as a
DJ playing ’50s music for picnic-goers to get in on the action.
The
event will also feature a display celebrating the 1950s set up in the school’s
lobby, and student-led tours of the building will also be available. Campus
School is a K-5 teaching laboratory school jointly operated by Middle Tennessee
State University and Rutherford County Schools.
“We’re
just inviting everybody to come out and enjoy chatting and renewing
acquaintances,” King said.
Campus
School Principal Dr. Sherry King said hot dogs, milk shakes and chips will
be served "soda shoppe style," and that students and staff will be
wearing '50s attire. There will also be a special display honoring the
late Dr. Mary Tom Berry, a longtime MTSU faculty member, former elementary
education department chair and school teacher who died in February. The Campus
School library is named "The Mary Tom Berry Media Center" in
honor of her efforts and impact on the laboratory school's success and
role in teacher training.
