Fieldtrip
Four generations with roots to the country school came together at the schoolhouse on July 8, 2023! Three of the attendees were former students: Steve, Jeff and Char Huston! Judy (Lundin) Walstad, also a former student, and husband, Dave led a field trip. Rules from the late 1800’s – early 1900’s were shared. Younger students participated in lessons of the 1960’s and older students read up on historical newspaper articles. The Pledge of Allegiance was said, old fashioned games introduced and each student got to ring the big bell in the bell tower!
It was an absolutely wonderful time reminiscing!
An event like this would be a great idea for your family, maybe as a family reunion! You do not have to have any connection to the schoolhouse!

3rd Annual Wally Pikal and Pie Ice Cream Social!
While the weather was not cooperating, we still had a good turnout. Wally entertained us inside the school building this year, sharing much of his history being a processional musician. He had many interesting pictures and stories (as always!) and it was a delight to have him. Thank you Wally!

School Field Trips
St. Philip’s School, Litchfield, and New Discoveries Montessori Academy, Hutchinson, arrive at the schoolhouse for individual field trips! So much fun to watch students as they rewind back in time to see what a day in the life of a country school was like in the early to mid 1900’s! Students and teachers LOVE this field trip!
