Who
Was Anna M. McCabe? In September, 1955 the town of Smithfield paid $14,000
for 12 acres of the Winsor Estate
on Pleasant View Avenue. The following year taxpayers approved a $375,000 bond
to fund a
new elementary school which the School Committee subsequently named "Pleasant
View Elementary School." In
June, 1961 46-year veteran teacher Anna M. McCabe retired, having missed a total
of 3 days work in nearly five decades (her absences included 1 day for
her brother's funeral and 2 days for an illness). The School Committee
renamed the five year old elementary school in Miss McCabe's honor. In
1964 the 12-room school was expanded to include an additional 8 classrooms and a
library, resulting in the structure our children enjoy still today. |
