The History Behind The Old School Crest

This document provides a historical overview of the Old Alloway Township School, detailing its dedication in 1925 and subsequent restoration efforts. Following a feasibility study in the 1980s that highlighted the building's age and code issues, concerned residents prevented demolition in 1992 through a successful grant application for Phase 1 restoration, including exterior improvements and first-floor renovation. A second grant was secured in 1996 for Phase II restoration of the second floor. The document also chronicles the history of a school crest, its removal from the building around 2002, storage at Public Works, and eventual re-installation on a lighted foundation at the municipal offices in 2019. Various steering committees and township officials from 1992, 1995, 1996, and 2019 are listed, alongside details of video productions used for grant applications and the final placement of the crest.
