Tag on the roof of San Pablo...beat that story everyone! We would go over to school after dinner and play tag on the roof. Included in the line - up would be Karen Wilson, Kevin Baldwin, Terry Murphy, Kris Wilson, Karl Wilson, Aileen Ballenger, Troy Fowler and Kirby Wilson.

Other fond memories include singing around the Christmas Tree. After singing around the Christmas Tree, we would walk in to each and every classroom and look at all of the crafts and decorations everyone had made.

Don't talk about that stupid cake walk. To this day, I have spent my kids college money on the cake walk and I never won a thing!

All in all, childhood memories from San Pablo have been some of my sweetest.

I attended San Pablo elementary from 1956-61(1st-6th gr.) My first grade teacher was Ms. List who was special to me since she persuaded my parents to give me art lessons with Mimi Fincher(artist in Neptune Beach)

I remember the cake walk,Maypole dance,minuette dance,walking the lunch detention line in Mrs. Johnsons third grade class(we all walked it at least once during the year),planting a pine tree in Green Cove Springs,walking down Seagate Ave. to school everyday,watching Mrs.Kapp(6th gr.) drag a student by the ear to the principals office ,racing to the fence in PE to win a plastic charm and in art class painting a cart full of spring flowers..

I remember being friends with Becki King,Chris Proctor and Susan Cook.

To this day I have used my art abilities as a public art teacher and continue with pastel paintings. My teachers at San Pablo had a great influence in my art education career and my life. I am grateful and blessed for such caring and encouraging individuals.

I attended San Pablo Elementary School in the 70's for third through fifth grades. One of my memories was wanting so bad to be a patrol boy. I had the chance to be a shadow for a period and then when I finally got my badge I lost it because of making a "C". It was sad but I got over it, (I think ). I remember my third grade teacher picking up one student by the ankles and holding him upside down while spanking him in front of the entire class. Oh the good old days!

While I never had her as a teacher, I remember helping Mrs. Furlong clean up her class after school. Now I get to follow her lead in serving the community as a city councilor.

Mrs. Jeter and Mrs. Duff were my favorite teachers and helped form me into the person that I am today.
