ATTLEBORO — Mystery solved! After forgetting where former students at Attleboro's Brennan Middle School buried their time capsule more than 25 years ago, a search team found it Wednesday.
A ground-penetrating radar was brought in to find the exact location and it took about 20 minutes to end the mystery.

The capsule, which was filled with T-shirts, school work, and pennants, was made by fifth through eighth graders at the middle school in 1997. The original promise made by educators like Dawn Greening, a then 20-something teacher, was to dig up the capsule 25 years later, but over the course of time, and struggle to remember exactly where the capsule was, it was seemingly forgotten.

The items are badly damaged, according to Greening, but they will be on display during a ceremony on June 10 where the students from 1997 will come back for an informal reunion.

I still remember my elementary school had us create a time capsule and they placed it next to the flagpole in front of the school with a fun little ceremony. Before I finished 8th grade they tore up that whole section of the yard, redesigned the hardscape and moved the flagpole.

I put my stone cold Steve Austin poster in a time capsule in the year 2000 for the 5th grade and I’m still a little pissed about it. That was a sweet ass poster.

If 25 years make it a time capsule my bedroom closet should be a treasure trove.
