Nancy Reynolds community brings architect to school board
Restoration seems possible, he concludes
(By Leslie Bray Evans, The Stokes News) - After hearing findings from SFLA, the architectural firm hired by the Stokes County School Board, the Nancy Reynolds Historical Committee decided to take matters into their own hands. They brought in their own architect, Stephen Onxley, whose presentation had a decidedly different tone from previous ones by SFLA.
His verdict? Restoration of Nancy Reynolds Elementary School is a very real possibility.

Interesting to see how some “old ignorant fools” could come up with the idea to bring in someone knowledgeable about construction as opposed to the supposed know it all’s scattered haphazardly about the county, the crux of them residing on the “other side of the mountain.” It’s also funny that this construction specialist knew more about the building than the board members, the maintenance workers and the previously retained company SFLA. So if it’s just a bunch of ignorant folks who wish to keep an elementary school’s historical integrity intact, while also creating room for future growth, as well as providing an education in a state of the art facility, then well….I guess we are just a bunch of ignorant people who hold multiple degrees, and at least had enough sense to seek out a second opinion. Oh and by the way, the last time I checked, the number one thousand, which is the number of signatures appearing on a petition submitted to the school board in favor of the restoration of NR, was not considered a “minority” or “few.” So for the naysayers, I say, at least there are a “few” who do take pride in a community, in history, and in education. Too bad there are not more folks who take pride their heritage. There are ways to effectively mingle the past with the future; it’s just a matter of allowing those who know how to do so.
