Just discovered yesterday that my fiance and I both attended Wayne Elementary in Detroit for K'garten in 1969 - 1970. Trying to determine if we were in the same class! Can you help???

Let's try to resurrect this thread! Anyone got a class photo from those years??? Please!!!
This is all I could find. Which one's you?
Wish I could help...sorry to hear that almost 4 years later, you still don't have an answer. I'm surprised that parents and siblings couldn't shed any light on the situation. Mom didn't save the report cards?
I am interested in this: Did you two get married?
I had cousins who went to Wayne, but that was in the early '60s.
The school is still operational. If you are lucky, perhaps someone there would have some record of former students. If you showed up in person, it would be harder to say no. Good luck.

If you showed up in person, they wouldn't let you in the building, for security purposes. Even in non-COVID times.The school is still operational. If you are lucky, perhaps someone there would have some record of former students. If you showed up in person, it would be harder to say no. Good luck.

All those elementary school pictures from the 1960's looked the same. Here's mine from White Elementary, you can say its from Wayne and no one will know the difference. You can't recognize anyone anyway.
You know, I can't remember getting any pictures till the 9th grade at Denby in 1953-1954 which includes K-6 at Wayne and 7-8 at Jackson. Can you imagine the woke crowd's anguish over naming an elementary school after a man famed for defeating native American tribes and an intermediate school after a slave holder, defeater of native Americans, and the "trail of tears" ethnic cleansing?
Yes! We got married in 2017. Have been extremely happy every since!
We actually did go back to the school, in pre-Covid times. The staff could not have been nicer! They made us feel like family. We poured through piles of photos, but none from our class year was found. We found a few class photos from before & after our time, but none from '69/'70. During lunch break, we went back to our old kindergarten room, wedged into the tiny desks, and took photos. Very little had changed! It was a wonderful visit!
When my Great-Great Grandfather tried to cross the plains in a wagon train to get to the California gold fields and build a new life free of the religious oppression, the big chief and his war party wasn’t talking about “inclusion” and “acceptance” then! His tribe attacked these poor refugees, burned the wagons, took the women and children as slaves, and scalped and killed all the men who didn’t get away. The most racially segregated place in the world an Indian reservation. Talk about diversity, you have to prove “racial purity” to live there.You know, I can't remember getting any pictures till the 9th grade at Denby in 1953-1954 which includes K-6 at Wayne and 7-8 at Jackson.
