In those days the idea was new and somewhat novel to the community, and parents sent their children daily because they ap preciated having a place where the “run-abouts” could live fully some hours of the day. This Nursery was one of the first activities begun un der the direction of Mrs. M. L Rhone, Head Resident of Woodson Center. Miss Lucy Mae Stamps was the very first teacher of these wee tots, and folowing her was Mrs Charlotte Crawford, whom the Cen ter released to the Family Welfare; and Mrs- Mildred Alston Washington began teaching these nursery child ren. She served faithfully and well with the Nursery Group from 1929 till February 1934, when the children were transferred into the school sys tem, becoming pupils of the W'est side School Nursery, Monday, Feb ruary 5th. Nursery Closes at Woodson Center, Friday, February 2, 1934 Children of the Nursery and their mothers enjoyed a “Send off Party” in honor of their transference from the Center Nursery to the Westside School Nursery School. This trans ference of the Nursery Children of \v oodson Center into the city school system is a real “event” and marks tho “beginning” of a real “education al adventure,” in which Woodson Center played its part, even in a small way, thereby having a hand in this achievement for this neighbor hood. Woodson Center rejoices with Omaha over the opening of this Nur sery School, in a neighborhood where it is most needed, serving all of the children in the same way as the oth er school children are being served This new activity of the public school system not only affords an oppor tunity for the pre-school children, but it also offers an opportunity to i the Negroes of Omaha in that one of . it’s teachers is a Negro, with Univer sity training. This appointment in a school with a very large percentage of Negro children, incidentally be gins again the employment of Ne groes in the city school system for the first time in many years. Miss Catherine Williams 1933 gra duate of the University of Nebraska has been appointed assistant to the Director of this Nursery School. Miss Williams, it will be remember, has been a faithful volunteer of Woodson Center for a number of years, serv ing in the Vocation School and teach ing other recreational classes- She has been a regular member of the Center’s staff since June 1933- When this opportunity came, Woodson Center was happi to release her for the new position MID-CITY COMMUNITY CENTER CWS ACTIVITIES High School boys and girls Social Dancing every 2nd and 4th Thursday 1- 10 p. m.
