Since Page is starting school in August, I wanted to show her where I went to school for K-5th grades. St. Roberts is celebrating its 100 year anniversary, its a Catholic school in the town of Shorewood where I grew up. While I am no longer a Catholic, I have many fond memories of my years there (minus the nuns w/ the rulers – they no longer have nuns or rulers). We were lucky enough to get a private tour of the school…
This is the library reading corner. The library used to be only one room but they combined two rooms to make room for computers.
I have many memories of the science room. We dissected frogs and pigs and made lots of experiments. They don’t dissect animals anymore…
The school is decorated with many crosses.
In Milwaukee we get many tornadoes. I remember the “tunnel” where we all used to line up against the walls and put our head between or knees and pray that the storm would pass.
This is the music room, so many memories of sitting around the circle signing songs. 
I spent many, many hours in this room practicing piano on that exact piano. Page was able to hit a few keys. 
This is the cafeteria, I can remember the days when they served us raw mincemeat – gross!
The gym! This is where we had our school plays. I still remember my line from The Invisible Man – “He turned his back to me, he did, the whole time, I couldn’t even get a look at his face.” All is a Cockney Dialect which I though was cool… I played many basketball and volleyball games in this gym.
Every week we had to go to church and we sometimes went on Sunday, too. I was an alter girl during a few masses. 
The church is beautiful. I sang in the church choir up in the balcony. 
Lots of memories of the confession booth… I think they made us go in there every so often.
On the way home we made a quick stop to my childhood home. So many memories on Prospect Ave!
