This year the borough of North Catasauqua will celebrate the 100th birthday of the former North Catasauqua Elementary School, now North Catasauqua Borough Hall. The borough betterment committee is looking for old pictures, report cards, pictures of the building inside or out, and any other artifacts or mementos of the school, to be displayed during an open house.

Pictures can be scanned at borough hall and returned immediately.

Any contributions to the display may be delivered to borough hall during regular weekday business hours, or call 610-264-1504 for more information.

An open house is being planned for August, with plans to welcome back former students and teachers and present the display to the public.
