Capturing Memories Of Park Street School, Page Two

Park Street School, Springfield, Vermont, 2008

At one point, it was raining so hard that I couldn’t even see out of the windows. I imagined the school sliding into the raging Black River. I hurried past a small hallway, and the sound of the rain suddenly got much louder. So I followed the sound and found myself in a spooky balcony in the gym. The rain pounded on the roof and echoed with such noisy force that I thought I might go deaf. I grabbed a seat and soaked it up for a good 10 minutes. It was the most thrilling sound I had ever heard.
