Before Oaklandvale Elementary School closed permanently, students and teachers jotted down their favorite things about the school on pieces of paper that were linked into a chain of memories.
From a visit by Wally the Green Monster to “I’ll never forget all the amazing friends I made,” students shared their feelings on what makes the Oaklandvale School a special place.
The creation of a memory chain was among the special events held this month to commemorate the Oaklandvale School.
Along with the Waybright School and Lynnhurst School, Oaklandvale is coming offline at the end of this month as part of the district’s reconfiguration into a three-school system.

Several side streets will be designated “no parking” from 7-8:30 a.m. during the school year around the Saugus Middle-High School and Highland Avenue will become one-way from 1-5 p.m. in a plan the Board of Selectmen supported to alleviate overflow parking in the neighborhood.
The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to make the following streets “no parking” from 7-8:30 a.m. during school days: Highland Avenue, Orchard Avenue, Farmland Road, Highland Park, Meadow Lane and Apple Lane.
Under the revised configuration, Highland Avenue will become one-way from 1-5 p.m. with traffic only permitted to travel from Vine Street toward Pierce Memorial Drive.
