Stephen Foster Elementary alumni make final visit as school prepares to close

Former students and staff gathered by invitation at Stephen Foster Elementary School in Gainesville for a last chance to revisit the campus before it shuts down at the end of the school year. The closure stems from a recent Alachua County Public Schools rezoning decision that will shutter the small elementary school. Attendees described the school as a tight-knit community, with one former music teacher noting she spent 28 years there and considered the staff and students a family.
