Students at Rocky River elementary school in Concord, N.C., also
completed a similar time capsule project to commemorate the school's
10-year anniversary. Students included items such as pictures,
stories, and music. The time capsules are registered with Oglethorpe
University's Time Capsule Registry.

Diebold’s pink vacuum air tube carriers, designed to
promote breast cancer awareness, are not only making history, they
are preserving it. That’s because Windemere Elementary School in
Ellet, Ohio, recently used this product, donated by Diebold, for a
time capsule project to mark the closing of the school before it is
torn down to make way for a new one.
With so many choices, its second-grade students had no trouble
deciding what to include. They prepared a timeline with personal
information including likes, dislikes and favorite things and
people, a jump drive with pictures of Akron and Cleveland, a list of
current gas prices and price predictions for the future, and
information and facts concerning breast cancer.
In 2018, Windemere students will return to dig up the time capsules,
noting how society has changed politically, economically, and
socially, and hopefully, how medicine evolved to find a cure for
breast cancer.
“As teachers, we have the great responsibility to shape the minds of
our students by providing as many different experiences as we
possibly can to ensure the students become good citizens in our
society,” said Janet Canova, Windemere teacher. “Diebold’s
generosity by supplying the classrooms with the pink carriers
provided us with a teaching tool to explain a scary health issue
they see and hear about daily. It also provided our students with
any experience they will always remember,” she added.
But Windemere Elementary isn’t the only school providing students
with memorable experiences. To commemorate its 10-year anniversary,
Rocky River Elementary School in Concord, N.C., also completed a
time capsule project using Diebold’s pink VAT carriers. Rocky River
students from every grade level selected class pictures, stories
about their best days at school, technology items such as solar
calculators, jump drives with downloaded pop music and small reading
books. These time capsules were buried on school property and are
registered with Oglethorpe University’s International Time Capsule
Registry.
“We
were very happy to assist these schools in preserving history for
their students,” said Pamela Barron, director, DieboldDirect. “Diebold's
caring campaign is all about reaching out to people, and this is a
great example of how we can help. These projects exemplify our
caring vision and ultimately position us as the caring company."
These projects are only the start of a multi-faceted effort to utilize VAT
carriers for time capsule projects at grade schools throughout the United
States. Barron expects more and more schools to participate in similar projects
in the future.
