In May of 2000, our elementary school sealed a time capsule filled with messages, photos, and memories from students, teachers, and staff—intended to be opened in 2025. That time has now arrived, yet we have not received confirmation or communication regarding its opening.

This capsule is more than a collection of items; it is a bridge between who we were and who we have become. Inside are pieces of our childhood—friendships, classrooms, and moments many of us no longer remember contributing, making the rediscovery especially meaningful.

Over the years, our community has experienced both joy and loss. We have grown, built families and careers, and pursued our dreams, while also mourning classmates, teachers, and loved ones who shaped our lives. Opening the time capsule would allow us to honor their memory and celebrate the spirit that continues to connect us.

We respectfully urge the school administration and alumni association to uphold the promise made in 2000 by arranging the ceremonial opening of the time capsule in 2025. This shared moment would bring reflection, connection, and celebration to our community.

Please sign this petition to encourage Hartford to open the time capsule and help us honor our past, reconnect in the present, and share this once-in-a-lifetime moment together. 💙
