Exciting News for Ward 5 School and Barre Community! - February 14, 2025

Exciting News for Ward 5 School and Barre Community! - February 14, 2025

Here's what's happening:

- Downstreet Housing is nearing completion of a historic renovation of Ward 5 School into 9 affordable housing units

- We're preserving the school's historic features and essential details

- Artist Mary Tapogna is creating a tile mosaic at the Ward 5 school inspired by YOUR memories

- Share your stories, photos, and memorabilia to inspire this unique artwork

- Connect with fellow alumni and community members over snacks and refreshments

Bring your Ward 5 School treasures - yearbooks, report cards, photos. Any small, flat, and durable items that capture its spirit could be included in the mosaic. Your memories could become part of Barre's history!

Stop in at any point and for any amount of time during the event. We'll have Valentines treats, hot beverages (do you like hot chocolate?) and fun stuff for kids, too.

Can't make it? Email stories, pictures, voice memos, media to scohen@downstreet.org or drop off items for the mosaic at Studio Place Arts in Barre.

Let's celebrate Ward 5 School's past as we create its vibrant future as a home for our community!
