Do you want a piece of memorabilia from your grade school days? Are you a collector of old and indestructible school furnishings? If you would like old Elementary School Chairs and Desks, the City is offering to the public the opportunity to purchase a desk and chair (pair) of your choice for only $6.00 . These desks and chairs were used by the kids attending the former Fitch Elementary School a few generations ago. The Fitch School served 281 children in grades 5 and 6 until 2004 when the school finally closed. The City has available close to 300 school desks and approximately 200 chairs for sale on a first-come-first-serve basis. So, come early to choose first from the large collection. They are sold as they are and where they are. See photos of available items here.

The Chairs : are all metal framed with wood seats, some have plastic seats. In most cases the metal frame is painted with the original paint color. Others have tubular nickel finished frames and blue plastic seats. There are blemishes with all them and some have scratches in the metal and wood. Frames are painted in different color with some grays, pink, and blue. All, however, are solid and will last for generations. (See Pictures here)

The School Desks : used by the children; yes, one of your desks. They are all metal framed either with 4 or two beefy legs. Some have a wood top and lower wood book shelf. They are in good condition and, like the chairs, are extremely well built and will last for many years to come. Some of the desks have names inscripted on the top side. All have scratches and some staining which can be easily removed with a little love ‘n care. (See Pictures here)
