School and Community Reunited
The sounds of laughter and people talking drifted across the school yard. Small groups clustered around picnic tables eating hotdogs, chips, and cookies happily as the sun was shining and children played. Parents, teachers, students, and families all having a blast. This was the atmosphere at Maywood schools on August 17th.
After a long summer and some online school, students and teachers have finally returned to school. It was amazing to see people again after being quarantined due to Covid-19! Everybody was happy to be out and socializing once again. There was no better way to bring everybody back together than our annual BBQ!
Maywood, Nebraska
Maywood was originally called "Laird," but the name was changed since there was another Laird on the mainline of the railroad in Colorado. A meeting was held in 1881 at Israel Wood's house, and the group decided on the name . . .
