Refer to our Newsletter!
The aim of the CSAA Newsletter is to reach a readership with an interest primarily in researching and restoring country schools, members of CSAA, and the general public. It publicizes the efforts of the CSAA and promotes an annual conference. It highlights news of schoolhouse restorations, and the achievements of members, volunteers, preservationists, and historical societies on behalf of country schools across the nation. Here we list resources for museum schools and an opportunity to highlight activities at schools across the country.
Country schooling has a following across the United States and Canada as witnessed by the growing number of schoolhouse-related articles in Internet searches. While each article in the CSAA newsletter finds some interested readers, we believe the variety of articles indicates that we serve many interests.
In addition, the newsletter and website offer a link to the Country School Association of America Facebook Page that alerts our “friends” of the latest in national articles concerning one-room and country schools. This Facebook link alone has increased our readership and our national exposure. That is vital to our future.
