Old School

Many of my friends attended one and two room schools during their early school years.  

In the late 1960's and early 1970's many of the rural schools were consolidated into larger buildings.  Some of these schools are still used for community meeting places and churches.
This school near our house our house didn't make it through last winter.  The roof gave way after we received 60" of snow.

Many have become homes.
This school is located on the ridge not to far from here.  It as an Amish school house.  I love seeing all the kids when they are outside for recess.  They all stop and wave when we drive by.
