"I remember we were able to go home and bring in objects or items that meant something to us," Holland told The Sun Herald. "We brought different things, like VHS tapes or floppy disks, or even toys that we might have had back then."
Unfortunately, most of the items had been soaked with water. Some things, like a cassette tape and a VHS tape, were unusable, while others, like four Pokemon cards, were in relatively good condition.
On the day of the capsule opening, current students read a speech and helped scoop dirt from the spot where the capsule was buried, then Holland opened the capsule.
The capsule also contained a Millennium Bear beanie baby, a staff directory from the school, a yearbook, a National Geographic magazine from 1998, a copy of the Sun Herald from December 1999, a K-Mart advertisement listing a 19-inch TV for $149.99, and a PlayStation 1 for $99.
