On May 29th, during a final school program dedicated to observing the township's 250th anniversary during the current school term, students saw what items were being placed into their time capsule to be unveiled in 2059 - on Montague's 300th!

Among the items included were school memorabilia, a Powerpoint presentation highlighting life at Montague Elementary, their own 4 volume set about Montague's History, and winning entries from a school-based contest for students in grades 4 to 6 who submitted poems and letters speaking about the future or written to the students of 2059.

Copies of the 4 book set were also presented during the assembly to the Township, to MARCH, and to Montague School and the children of Montague's future. These books and the time capsule were funded by the Montague Education Association, Pride in Education funding.
