NEW HARMONY, Ind. (AP) - The dismissal bell rang for the last time one of Indiana's smallest school districts as students, teachers and parents cried and hugged.
Fourth-graders at the New Harmony School lowered the U.S. and Indiana flags and the school pep band played its fight song during Tuesday's ceremonies marking the end of the district dating back to the 1870s in the Wabash River town in far southwestern Indiana.
The district with 137 students this year is merging with the neighboring North Posey Schools because of state funding cuts. New Harmony will graduate its final class of 13 students on Thursday.
Eighth-grader Devin Hulen tells the Evansville Courier & Press ( http://bit.ly/JxqofI ) that he'll miss the school's uniqueness, saying its small classes made it like a little family.
