New Sign for Old Stone School!
We’re proud to have the time and talent of Life Scout Breton Geyer, Troop 711, who will be building a new sign to replace the old, rundown one in front of the building. Bret is doing this as his Eagle Scout project. He is planning to design the sign to match the architecture of the Old Stone School. The new sign will be a wonderful update to the grounds of the historic building, reflecting the renovations and improvements made since the fire.
Old Stone School Fall Potluck Celebration
This fall, when we have the finishing touches made to the Old Stone School, we will hold a big community potluck celebration with free entertainment. All are invited! Watch for details! See photos from the day of the fire to after repairs were completed.
