Past: One Room School ( 100 years ago)

•        Community people would have a school raising bee to build a new school.

•        People in the community donated materials to build the school.

•        Someone would donate a box stove and donate wood so the school would be warm.

•        There were many small schools throughout the area because children had to walk to school.

•        Schools were often at the end of a road or path.

Present Day School ( today 2004 )

•        The contractors bring and buy everything they need .

•        The government pays for the cost of the school with our tax money.

•        We heat our school now and they are bigger because children are bused to school.
