Lookinglass Elementary needs the Community. The Grange is there to help.
What we know so far is that the historic gym, library, cafeteria, and speech room built in 1939 burnt to the ground Late at night on December 27th, 2016. The cause remains unknown. The school was insured, but it is unknown at this time how that coverage will pay or effect new construction.
The classrooms remain intact with power, water, and electricity running properly.
The school is open for classes!
The grange is working with the school district to help meet its needs and the elementary kids will be served breakfast and lunch at the Grange.

The band will continue at Lookingglass Elementary and will be practicing in the 6th grade classroom. The piano and drum set were lost to the fire. A replacement piano has already been donated. It is unclear what instruments were taken home by the students and which ones were lost to the fire. The band is symphonic and if you or friends would like to donate instruments please let the school know.
The library books were lost to the fire. If you have books that are clean (mold free), tobacco free, and appropriate to elementary children and would like to donate, them they would be welcomed. A small library is being set up at the Grange. The donation of a moderate sized book shelf would be appreciated.
