Stephen Foster Elementary alumni gather for a final farewell before school closes

Former students and staff returned to Stephen Foster Elementary School in Gainesville for an invitation-only event to share memories before the school shuts its doors at the end of the academic year. The closure follows a recent Alachua County Public Schools rezoning decision that eliminated two elementary schools. Alumni and former teachers described the school as a close-knit community, with many expressing that its loss would be felt by the broader neighborhood.
