Mitchell Celebrates 100 with Time Capsule & Plaque in Tampa

100 year old elementary schools such as Henry Mitchell Elementary in Tampa have history and make it, too. On February 22, 2015, the school held its Centennial Celebration with an ice cream social and dedication of the time capsule and plaque to mark the event. To honor the school, Mayor Bob Buckhorn from the City of Tampa issued a proclamation that declared it "Mitchell Elementary Day". Future Packaging & Preservation was proud to be part of it.

The day was celebrated with tours of the school and music from the Cub and Bobcat chorus, the school's strings students, and their black belt recorder students, too.

Our contact for the time capsule and plaque package was Brandy McClarin. She sent us the photos you see here. They chose a custom package that had the Architect Bolted Time Capsule (12x12x24"), small preservation kit, and 12x12 Cast Bronze Plaque. Please call our office if you need help customizing your own package.

Mitchell Elem School PlacementOur time capsules, including the bolted time capsule Architect model shown here) do not need any special vault and should be placed far enough down that its temperature is kept stable over time. The area above in this case was sealed with the bricks and then a plaque installed over the area.
