Dear fellow Hanoverians:
With the construction of the new Hanover High School nearing
completion, the old high school prepares for demolition. As a result,
an Auction/Yard sale will be held on Saturday, June 25th!
Although the old Hanover High School is coming down, the building has
lots of usable items and these will be auctioned or sold to create a
new scholarship fund.
On Saturday, June 25th at 8:30 a.m., there will be an auction in the
old High School gym. The auction will include some great items like
sets of lockers, old tables, chairs, bookcases, doors, cabinets and
miscellaneous items. The auction will run for approximately 1 hour.
After the auction, residents can go through the building and buy any
remaining usable items from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. All proceeds will
go to create 4 individual scholarships for a member of the first four
graduating classes from the new high school.
The goal is to raise as much money as possible with a target goal of
$10,000. Residents can come and grab a piece of memorabilia and help
us recycle some cool items. Anything not sold will just end up in the
demolition contract and we hope that people will stop by and shop or
at least write a check for the new scholarships.
Volunteers are needed to help with the sale and can contact Chris
Martin to sign up at chris.martin14@verizon.net
.
A few days after the sale, the Massachusetts State Police will conduct
training in the building for a day and then the building will begin
the deconstruction process throughout the summer. The contractor hopes
to have the building down before the beginning of the school year. The
official dedication of the new High School will take place on Sunday,
September 18th. Further details regarding the dedication will be
forthcoming; mark your calendars in the meantime!
