Today was the last first day of school at Blessed Trinity for my daughter. In September 2009 I dropped her off for her first day of Pre-K with Mrs. O’Brien. This morning she was greeted in the school yard by Mrs. O’Brien. I had promised myself I wouldn’t get emotional. I was doing great until this happened! I flashed back to her as a 4 year old being greeted for the first day of school by this same wonderful teacher. The time has gone by just too fast! She started this journey at St Timothy’s and will end it in June at Blessed Trinity.
Here’s a walk down memory lane that some St. Timothy’s alumnae will enjoy. If you were enrolled at St. Tim’s in 1971, look for yourself in the “groovy” class photos below. Let us know in the comments if you’ve spotted yourself, and share with us some memories of this school in the ’70’s!
My name is Theresa Gleason-King. I first stepped foot into St. Tim’s School in September 1964. I was a first grade student in Room 102. Sister Marie Barbara was my teacher. Photographers from the Philadelphia Inquirer came to our school to take pictures of my homeroom’s first day.
