Possible Uses
Home
We see the following possible uses for the
school:
- Teachers
bring their students into the school, so that they can
see, first hand, what education was like in the early
part of the last century. Students would also see a
teacherage and horse barn. The BHS could supply
trained docents to provide instruction in various topics
of local historic interest.
- Teachers
bring their students to the school site, to do simple
science projects, experience a prairie pond, wild
grasses, insects, birds feeding, etc
- Rental
space for small groups and parties. The lower level
will have walk-out patio, two large windows, a wheelchair
accessible bathroom and a kitchen.
- Meeting
place for professional development days. The
facility could handle a group of 50, 25 up and 25 down.
The lower level will have high speed Internet, and
built-in projection screen.
- Drop-in
place for locals during their morning walks. Lower
level could have a few comfy chairs, books and magazines,
plus coffee maker. We are considering putting a
measured walking track around the adjoining 4.4acres,
with benches and eventually trees. Identified trees
and plants could be provided for school groups.
