MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -
Students, faculty and staff at Northfield Elementary School in Murfreesboro opened a time capsule on Tuesday buried at school 25 years ago.
The capsule contained magazine pictures of cars, fashion and trends popular during the late 1980s.
Northfield Elementary student council members helped dig up the capsule originally buried by the school's computer club, Northfield Micro-Chips.
The items inside the capsule were unveiled on Tuesday morning as the entire school gathered in the gym, anxiously waiting.
"I think that inside the time capsule is art," second grader Raven Tate said.
Fellow second grader Kaylee Chrisman added, "I think it is going to be an old yo-yo."
Former principal Charlene Norris even came back to the school on Tuesday to help open the time capsule.
"I have been back several times since I retired and it is always wonderful to come back," Norris said.
Upon opening the capsule, students discovered a Bobby McFerrin cassette tape and letters from sixth grade students to future students, in addition to magazine cut outs of cars and fashion.
Northfield Elementary is celebrating their 25 year anniversary this year.
Each class got to chose new items to be placed inside a new time capsule which will be buried and unearthed in another 25 years.
