Celebrating their time at the Trade School

Posted

Former Trade School students reveled in their friendships and good times at the annual reunion at the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence on July 29.

The event began in the late 1960s with the formation of the Trade School Reunion Committee headed by Inwood resident Annette “Pat” Jones. The school was a recreational and educational center where children ranging from toddlers to teens could play or learn hoe to cook or photography.

Trade School officers and committee members presented scholarships to eight Lawrence High School graduates, including Tianno Brown, Na-Tai Grayson, Shania Miller, Sierra Moore and Bryan Terrant. Brown is headed to SUNY Old Westbury; Grayson is attending Alabama State University; Miller is going to Dominican College; Moore will attend Delaware State and Terrant is going to Nassau Community College.
