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

Students
at Windemere Elementary School in Ellet, Ohio, recently used Diebold’s pink
vacuum air tube (VAT) carriers, designed to promote breast cancer awareness, 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 and
dislikes, 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 change 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 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.
