Fallasburg One Room School House

To celebrate the official back-to-school day for children, we found the Fallasburg one room school house covered in its traditional clapboard in what is now Lowell Michigan. That is a belfry on top. It was built in 1867 on land donated by John Wesley Fallass. Today, it is used as a museum, housing all kinds of interesting artifacts. May the 2013-14 school year be blessed for children, parents and teachers!

Burr Elementary Outdoor Classroom

Inspired by nature, some schools build an outdoor classroom where kids can do their work and enjoy their surroundings at the same time. Built in 1994 by the Burr Elementary PTA in Sterling Heights, this structure continues to be lovingly maintained by the parent group, staff, administration and their students. It's such a pleasure to have a change of venue from the four walls of a classroom! It was named after Marty Kasiska, the exemplary principal of Burr back in the early 90's and avid outdoor enthusiast. The 2012-13 school year is just around the corner and may the children continue to grow in wisdom and appreciation of our Earth.
