Kaw Valley # 321 Fifty Years Old



Two towns with a history as rivals, from two different counties, met on common ground 50 years ago to form one unified school district.
And so on Tuesday the students from Rossville Grade School, in Shawnee County, and those from St. Marys Grade School in adjoining Pottawatomie County got together in St. Marys to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of Kaw Valley USD 321.
In a show of both individuality and togetherness, the school kids maintained separate roles in building a common design that spelled out "Kaw Valley 50" over the length of a football field.
The red-clad kids from Rossville formed the "5" and the word "Kaw." The blue-clad St. Marys kids formed the "0" and the word "Valley."
An aerial drone recorded an overhead view of the formation for a district-wide grade school team photo, and a balloon release followed.
