"Mixed feelings."
That's how Principal Mary Rechek described the mood of the students during their final days at St. Louis School in Dyckesville. Friday, June 4, marked the last day of classes at the school, which closed because of decreasing enrollment. St. Louis School served 22 students in grades one through six this past school year.
