I remember radiation symbol signs on the walls of the school, however... kind of creepy. Speaking of my old elementary school, I just found out that it is closing its doors. The district needs to save money and enrollment is really down. It makes me sad because I received such a great education there and spent countless hours winter, spring, summer and fall playing on the school grounds and playgrounds (I lived right across the street).
