Savin Rock Community School opened its 1976 time capsule today alongside staff, guests, and selected fourth-grade representatives! We were excited to welcome John Deppen, a teacher at Savin Rock in 1976, who joined Principal Tom Hunt in opening the capsule and uncovering pieces of the school’s history. Inside, they discovered artifacts from 1976, including predictions about 2026, letters to their future selves, postcards, and so much more! On display today are artifacts from 2026 that will eventually be sealed in a new time capsule, along with selected items from 1976, to be opened in 2076. What a special way to connect generations and preserve memories for the future! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this memorable occasion. ⏳🐬
