Letter in the Annandale Advocate, April 15, 2008 - with their permission:

Save the 1922 school building

From: Barb Lundberg, Annandale

Apr 15, 2008


I have been following updates on the 1922 section of the Annandale Middle School and was aware that there is a community task force studying our school facility. So I am pleased to read statements written in the Advocate or sent to me via e-mail, by respected and reliable sources, de-bunking the myth that the building is to be condemned. Tearing down a three-story brick structure where Wold Architects has determined the building envelope to be solid does not make sense to me either. I feel it should continue to be a school. I also feel like others, that the middle school helps to create a sense of neighborhood. I work across the street from the school at the library and I invite you to come in around 3 p.m. and see for yourself the kids who have walked across the from the middle school school and are using the internet stations, working on school projects at the tables or being able to sit in comfy chairs to read a book or magazine, before their ride comes.
