A YOUNG STUDENT THAT REALLY DOES CARE

Alexia Nichols

Just wanted to send these two photos along to you to show you that the youth of Austin really care about our local history. Shown here is Alexia Nichols doing  more than her share of volunteer work for the E.O. Austin Home / Hist. Society. 

Alexia visits the museum as often as she can and is more than willing to do whatever is needed. She does everything from Genealogy, welcoming visitors and  cleaning where ever needed

 She also has taken on the task of inviting Austin School's 5th, 6th and 7th grade classes to the museum to view one of the many classic movies we have on hand . She has already sent notice to the school to get the word out. At the movie she will serve pop corn and beverages to all who attend at no charge.

  Alexia is not the only student that is interested and involved in our rich local history. Recently we have had several classes visit the museum. They all seem to take a special interest in the one room school displays as well as ringing  the old one room Cowley Hill school bell now on display in front of the museum. 

 The museum recently has had donated by Shirley Leete, the bell from the Keating Summit School. The society hopes to have that bell on display early next spring. 

  The E.O. Austin Home / Hist. Society wants to extend a special thanks to Alexia and all our students for their interest in their home town area history!
