A Two Room School House.

No, this is not a picture from the 1940's.  This is a school picture of my husband's two room, Ripton Elementary School around 1988.  K-3 grade shared this building which now serves as the town clerks office.  A new elementary building was built and finished in 1989, about a mile away, which now houses PK-6...there are three classrooms.

A lot of the small town schools are disappearing in Vermont.  Right now, the town's people are trying to save Ripton's little school.  They are trying to attracted students from the near by townships that have already lost their schools...time will tell....times are changing...slower here then in most parts.

Spring of 2012

Do you have any pictures of when you where growing up in Vermont?
