Room #7 – School Room
– This room represents the schools of the past with the teacher in full habit; this habit was worn by the Sisters of the Cross in the earlier years. The Sisters lived and taught in the convent from 1914 to 1983.
– Antique desks are setup ready for students, a variety of school books and encyclopedias from yesteryears make up our collection.
– An album displays photos from students that attended school at the convent and also that boarded at the convent during the school week. A bed that was used by boarders during their stay is also displayed.
– Pictures of the graduating classes for the years 1950, 1956, and 1961 to 2007 as well as the teaching staff over the years cover the walls of this room.
