The Marathon County Historical Society generously shared their program with
us last fall and mentored us to get the program started at our one room
school. The program they shared was perfect, because our school was built
in 1904. The program was a big success with the students and the
teachers. Lots of positive feedback, and I'm sure the program will get
even better as we get a few more classes under our belt.
