Did you, your parents or siblings attend one of the East Allen Township schools? Did you or a relative teach in these schools?
If so, you are invited to a reunion event set for 2-4 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Wolf Academy on the Governor Wolf Historical Society campus, 6600 Jacksonville Road.
The historical society is sponsoring this gathering to give everyone a chance to reminisce and share their memories of the schools, teachers and classmates. Everyone is encouraged to bring photos, schoolbooks, report cards, schoolwork or any other documents they might have for show and tell.
The East Allen Township School District had five schools - Monocacy School on Jacksonville Road (at the Governor Wolf Historical Society site), Knauss School on Route 329 (now the township municipal building), Steinmetz School on Colony Drive, Union School on Route 248 and Oxford (or Snyder) School at St. Peter’s Church.
The last three were one-room schools sold in 1947 and are now residences. After these schools closed, East Allen students in first through sixth grades attended the three-room Monocacy School or the two-room Knauss School.
With consolidation and the establishment of the Northampton Area School District, the last two schools closed about 1962.
There is no cost to attend, and no reservations are required.
If you are unable to attend, but have photos you would like to share, or if you would like to make reservations or have questions, call Linda at 610-905-0007 or Barb at 610-262-6977.
