I was a student a Robert Fulton during my elementary school years. The year I completed 5th grade, which was as far as the grades went when I attended, the school closed.

I attended Robert Fulton from first grade through seventh I believe (ok, getting old so the memory is going!). I see my sister, Jan, has posted here as well. I can vividly remember the teachers’ names mentioned. I remember on rainy days having to go down in the basement (the dungeon)…I remember walking past heating equipment, etc – which was scary to me! I DO remember a few bullies as well, but my best memories are of the cafeteria. Mrs. Blackwell was my first grade teacher, I remember the principal (oh, forgot her name – but can see her face) playing “You’re too Dangerous, Cheree” on her stereo..buying mild in the little carton, spaghetti always seems to be served with green peas….such wonderful memories!

Memories from the past! I remember those teachers and also others – Mrs. Cosby, Miss Blackwell. I remember a milk truck running over a girl’s foot one day. Walking to and from school, going to the Hut, the playground. Hadn’t thought of all this in years. I attended in the mid 50s.

I found this website today and couldn’t belive my eyes. I attended Fulton from 1972-77,I didn’t finish there.I went to St. Patricks for 5th grade. I would have loved to go to a reunion. After all these years I remember that school and fellow students more than the people I went to High School with.I started remembering teachers names I hadn’t thought of in years,Mrs. Ranchbaren, Ms. Thompson, Mr.Johnson. Kids I knew back then. Going to the fire house after school and getting pop. It was great thinking of those times. I would love to stay in touch.

I attended Robert Fulton for one year prior to its closing. From there I attended St. Patricks elementary. I was always curious as to why the school closed. I had always wished that I had finished out my elementary school years there. It amazes me how only spending my kindergarten year there had left an everlasting impact on my life.
