Cynthia and Lonie Lougheed are donating two old school bells (pictured), formerly used at Forest Home and Central elementary schools, back to the Camas School District. Cynthia is the ASB bookkeeper at Camas High School and both of Lonie's parents worked for the district for several years.

Hearing the bell ring to signify the start of the school day was a time honored tradition in local schools.

Before the days of cell phones with alarms and inexpensive wristwatches, it was the way children were summoned to begin the day.
