    North Augusta Elementary
    100 Years of Educational Service

    North Augusta Elementary-100 years in the making,
    For teachers and children, a process of giving and taking.

    The old school was quaint with large rooms and a creaking floor,
    The lunchroom was designed for those delicious lunches next door.

    Classes were large, but children followed the rules.
    They worked to succeed, using their study skills and learning tools.

    As our city began to grow, a new school was planned,
    Near the old Mealing Field where baseball was played in the sand.

    The merging of two schools and the cooperation of teachers,
    Made our collegiality one of our best features.

    Now under the new leadership of Mrs. Reese and Mrs. Walters,
    We welcome many more years of progress you see.

    By meeting the challenges given long, long ago,
    We look to the future with hearts all aglow.
