The School

"Do we realize how lucky our children were to have had this wonderful start.  Wonderful for them, for us, for Idaho, for America."-Anita Scott

     Mrs. Henry Mathias, Mrs. Walt Hornsby, Mrs. Ellis Cole, Mabel Riggers, and Thelma Greer were some.

"There were two school buildings, an upper elementary and lower elementary. In the upper elementary, students entered a large two room building with low (eight foot) ceilings and windows all they way around.  As you entered the building you were in a long hallway that led to a sunken area.  The sunken area had a drinking fountain in the middle with restrooms on each side.  In 1962, only one room, the one on the left, was used as a classroom, the other was used for storage.
The lower elementary school held grades one to three depending on the number of students in each class. As you entered there was a place for your coats and boots. Mrs. Riggers classroom could barely hold all of the  material she had kept over the years. There never seemed to be enough room for the students.
At the end of the 1968-69 school year the school was closed."-Fred Smith
