HOLLYMOUNT SCHOOL
THE OLD HOLLYMOUNT SCHOOL
WILL BE A SCHOOL AGAIN.
Friday, January 11,
1946:
The Hollymount School
which was purchased as state surplus last year by American Legion
Post 5 of Rehoboth for
use as a community hall will once again be a school house.
Just before Christmas
last year the black school in Millsboro was destroyed by fire with
no
satisfactory accommodation
found for the Millsboro students. The American Legion jumped in
and offered Hollymount to the board of education as temporary
housing and was greatfully accepted and within three days school
bells rang again .
The building was built as a
three room school house some years ago but was closed and it's
students transferred to Lewes school.
This is the second
sacrifice Henlopen Post 5 American Legion as made to the board
of education within the past few months. Last September the Post
5 Home on King Charles
Avenue, Rehoboth, was
turned over to the Pinewater Kindergarten , rent free, 9 am to
noon,
for the school year.
Post 5 American Legion ,
Henlopen, will hold it's activities at the King Charles Post Home in
Rehoboth, during the afternoons and evenings.
