This spring, Preserve our Past will be hosting the 2nd Annual Writing Contest through a generous donation from Dr. Peter Adasek. The children will be asked to write about the importance of preserving City Hall in Little Falls. City Hall is one of many historically important buildings in the city. The contest will be offered to upper elementary students in Benton Hall Academy and The Baptist Academy. The teachers, Principal Joe Long, and Business Manager, Cletus Mclaughlin, expressed keen interest in this project as the theme fits so well into the New York State curriculum. Prior to writing, Preserve Our Past will arrange a tour of City Hall for students and teachers so they can experience the architecture and the history of this remarkable building. Prize money will be awarded based on an established scoring scale. We look forward to reading the children’s ideas and feelings on the importance of preserving City Hall.
