South Lewis aims to honor the past with local of pieces of artifacts, history to commemorate the six original school districts

TURIN- The last pair of elementary buildings for South Lewis Central School closed last-year after the district consolidated into a single K-12 campus.

With so much local history rooted into our local communities, the district is now seeking to honor the original six school buildings with memories and artifacts.

When the new elementary building was erected, designers included six display cases that would represent Constableville, General Martin/Glenfield, Greig, Lyons Falls, Port Leyden and Turin.

According to Superintendent of Schools Douglas Premo, the district is now reaching out to anyone in the community who may have some pieces of history to contribute to these display cases.

Any assistance from the community would be greatly appreciated, Premo says.

Should you have any items to donate or lend to the South Lewis School District, please contact District Clerk Vera Canova at 315-348-2500.

Be sure to listen to our latest on-air interview with Mr. Premo for more details:
