Figueroa Street Elementary School

I went there from 1982 – 1987 I had fun there. My 5^th grade teacher Mrs. Stokes is now the principle.

I went there from 1960 to 1966. I don’t remember my teachers. I think I had mrs hirokowa for 1^st grade my first boyfriend in 6^th grade. Steven.

I attended this school in 1966. It was a terrific school and I had Mrs. London for Kindergarten. After that we went to Ascension School across the street.

I went to this school from ‘1990 to 1993.
All my teachers were spectacular.
Mrs. Harris brought her daughter who was a chef to teach us how to make a gingerbread house. She was very kind.
Mr. Ledwig played the guitar, taught us cool songs and introduced me to The Beatles
(I was transferred to Mr. Gust in the middle of 4^th grade)
Mr. Gust taught me about the different muscles (he had an after school ‘Fun and Fitness program’) and also taught me how to write a story book
Ms. Smosky introduced me to one of my favorite books «A Wrinkle in Time»
I had an African Dancing class and also took Art Class.
I met my best friend here.
Recently I tracked down Mr. Ledwig. His memory of the school is different of course. Its a school situated in a tough neighborhood.
However, despite its history and the realities of the school I will always have fond memories of The Fig, as Mr. Ledwig called it.
This school gave me wonderful gifts each year I attended.
