Class Is In Session

Class Is In Session. . Step into the school gently. It's filled with history and memories … maybe some from your school days., As you enter the school you will see the classroom as it was on any given school day between 1936 and 1948. The school was a self-sufficient structure that met the basic needs of the students, as well as providing the structure for learning. Today the classroom is arranged in its historic setting with the teacher's desk at the head of the class and students' benches and tables facing the blackboards., The students' coats, lunches, and other personal items were hung on hooks or kept on shelves in the back of the schoolroom. Two outhouses were just beyond where the parking area is today., As you step inside, look for details in the furnishings. You might notice the American flag has forty-eight stars. Alaska and Hawaii did not become states until 1959, eleven years after this school was closed., Notice the two wood burning stoves. Initially the school had one stove. for heat at the front of the classroom. A second stove was acquired during the Great Depression through the Roosevelt administration. The Works Progress Administration provided a hot lunch at schools to make sure all children had one good meal a day., [Caption] Photo of inside school after renovation, August, 2006.
