School's Out

School is out in Selma, and it's been out at Dallas Academy for a long, long time. But sculptures such as this one, placed above a water fountain, honor its teachers. Here, Mary McEvoy, who taught first grade there, is remembered. I believe the sculpture was moved here from another former school. Can anyone verify that?

Today, Dallas Academy, which became the town's first public school, is used for community organizations such as offices for the Boy Scouts. The city's Ceramic Arts program is located in the basement, and some of the upstairs classrooms are used during Art Camp during the summer.
