Laramie, Wyo. • A couple of years ago, in preparation for moving to the new Laramie High School, science teacher Erin Klauk began cleaning out old storage rooms in the science wing.
“There was tons of storage, and it was filled with really old, kind of disgusting things,” she said.
She found boxes of old teaching materials and odds and ends gathered and discarded by past teachers — detritus that hadn’t been touched in decades.
“I got really into seeing what was in all of these storage areas, because nobody had looked for 20 years or longer,” she said.
