Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Egremont Elementary School and school officials did some celebrating.
Egremont Elementary School was built 50 years ago to accommodate a growing section of Pittsfield in the Elm Street area where hundreds of single-family homes were built with young families moving in.
Part of the 50th anniversary celebration at Egremont was the burying of a time capsule in the schools courtyard. Instructions have been left for the time capsule to be opened during the 75th anniversary in 2027.
One of the items included in the time capsule is a compact disc containing three Egremont students who appeared as WUPE Weather Kids in April with the morning team of Alex Seseski and Larry Kratka.
Hopefully, CD's will still be playable in 2027.

Winter Storm Warning Issued for Berkshires
Another snowstorm is expected to move through the region overnight on Friday, bringing 5 to 8 inches of snow. This is updated from Thursday's winter weather advisory.
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has posted a winter storm warning for all of Berkshire County and parts of eastern New York State beginning Friday at 4 p.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m.
The region could see heavy to moderate snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour overnight, tapering off Saturday morning to flurries.
Drivers should exercise caution on Friday night and Saturday morning, as travel conditions may be hazardous.
Saturday night should be clear and calm, but warming temperatures means freezing rain Sunday night and rain through Monday with highs in the 40s. The forecast isn't much better through the week as temperatures dip back into the teens with New Year's Eve looking cloudy and frigid.
Many homeowners are showing their holiday spirit by decorating their houses. We asked for submissions so those in the community can check out these fanciful lights and decor when they're out.
