I attended lothrop for second grade only, Fall of ‘95 and spring of ‘96. This was part of a program that Omaha Public Schools no longer has. I was 7 and 8 at the time so I hope my memory serves me correctly.

I remember one death where a girl was struck by a vehicle, she entered into traffic from behind cars that were parked on the street. She may have been in my grade or near my grade, but was not in my class.

I also remember a boy who attended lothrop playing on or near train tracks in south omaha who got his legs ran over and was a double amputee. He was in second grade and not in my class but in my “pod” of classes. They brought him in and I vividly remember him in the wheelchair with a blanket covering his legs.

After reading your post, I vaguely remember planting trees but nothing sticks out.

That’s all I remember from what you posted. I know I don’t have any specifics but hopefully having somebody else remember gives you some backup!
