Country School Days: True Tales of a Wisconsin One-Room School (Paperback)

In Country School Days, Larry Scheckel takes us back to his boyhood days, growing up with eight siblings on the family farm in the hill country of southwestern Wisconsin and attending the one-room country school out on Oak Grove Ridge. Oak Grove School was the social heart of the community, from the basket social in the fall, to the Christmas program, to the end-of-the-year school picnic. Learn of the joys and challenges faced by students in the country school. Join Scheckel on his nostalgic and evocative journey as he shares his memories of friendships forged and lessons learned during his eight years in a one-room country school with 28 kids and one teacher in a building the size of a garage.
