They plan to come back to their old school when they are around 48 years old to oversee the opening of the time capsule. This event took place at Altamont Park on Friday, Mgy 26. The wind did not deter the students excitement and anticipation for the completion of their undertaking. It waa an important project for the 8th gradera who each took part in a committee to carry out their plan. History teacher Diane Giles said she got the idea for this project from watching New Years celebrations and thought it would be fun for the kids to do for the new millennium. She asked each student to write a letter expressing his or her belieh about what state the world, the United States, and their community is in today. They also added their predictions and hopes for the fiiture and a note to their future selves. After Giles got the students started, it was up to them to do the rest ofthe work to finish their project. Different committees were formed to make sure nothing was overlooked, which included the burial committee, 8lh-gradBth-gra- ! the celebration committee, the unburial committee, the check-u- p committee, and the monument com- - They added mementos, cherished possessions, and their predictions and hopes for the future, as well as a note to their future selves. ingit would become history. They also added the first Uintah Basin Standard and Deseret News of the millennium. Students joked about burying one of their fellow classmates and one student put in a Snickers bar, commenting, "Maybe when we open it up I will be hungry." Eighth grader Jackie Blain, who was in charge of publicity and door prizes for the event, predicted that when the time capsule isopened in 34 years she may very well be a nurse, married and maybe have a few kids. She got her family involved by helping to lay the cement pad. the foundation it. The students all agreed that, if for the time capsule. "It has been fiin. posaible, they would return 30 years I learned responsibility and how to after they had graduated from high pour cement," she commented.
