If you were a student at the historic Fifth Street School any time from 1936 until 1966, the city Redevelopment Agency wants to hear from you.
The Redevelopment Agency will recognize former students during a rededication event to be held this fall celebrating the building's renovation and conversion into an urban “cultural oasis.”
The building, which was the Las Vegas Grammar School, will now house offices, a gym, courtyards and Centennial Plaza which will be available for private and public events.
Portions of the historic building will also house historic photos, memorabilia and the recorded recollections of people who attended the school. If you, or someone you know, can provide historical mementos and interesting anecdotes, or if you are a school alumni who would like to attend the rededication ceremonies as a special guest, please fill out the online form that can be found on the Fifth Street School Web page at www.lasvegasnevada.gov/5thstreetschool . Alumni can also call (702) 229-4955 or e-mail 5thstreetschool@lasvegasnevada.gov for more information.
