The theme for 2003 seems appropriate because this year will see the completion of the basic renovation of Indio's 1909 schoolhouse. Most of us have memories of our own school days, but we cannot go back to visit our particular school, because it no longer exists. When the inside renovation is complete, today's children and adults can experience the third oldest school in the Coachella Valley. Interestingly, the first school built in the valley was in Palm Springs. The year was 1893, when there was a thriving farming community there, and the Coachella Valley was called Palm Valley and it was a part of San Diego County. Newspaper accounts from papers kept in the Archives of the Society have provided most of the material for this publication. In addition, a number of earlier editions of the Periscope furnished appropriate material, as well as various other books and publications. Actually, some of the interviews done with early residents in the 1980's were very helpful. |
