Ruston School Reunion August 9th

Just a reminder that the Ruston School reunion is only 3 weeks away on Saturday August 9th. See the details under Upcoming Events to the right. It should be a grand celebration of Ruston's past and revisiting of childhood connections.

A bit of history... Ruston once had its own school district for its elementary school. In the 1960's the school was absorbed into the Tacoma District. Ruston lost control and ownership of the school and adjacent land. Tacoma made the decision to shut down Ruston Elementary School in the early 1980's. After great effort by former Council Member Mary Joyce and others, the school property was returned to Ruston. Mary's contributions are to be celebrated in a week when the school is renamed in her honor.

So much has changed in town, there will be lots to talk about!
