⏱ Unearthing old memories

Twenty-six years ago, teacher Peggy Bennett and her middle school class buried a time capsule under a willow tree. Inside it, they put notes, records, sentimental cards, and other trinkets.

🌳 Under the tree... When the now-retired Peggy heard the tree was scheduled to be removed due to a culvert replacement project, she raced down to unearth the buried treasure. 

The old milk jug had taken in some water in the nearly three decades underground, but for the most part it was still intact.

• "That willow tree was 26 years old, and now the kids are like 39 or 40. In fact, most of the kids are from the graduating class of Fitch from 2003," Peggy told a local news station.
