 Recognize Your Country School with a Marker The good news is that the CSAA Schoolhouse Registry continues to add honorees to our roll! Schoolhouses in 22 states are currently represented by our beautiful registry markers with more applying. The recognition is not only from our organization, but the groups who have restored or preserved their schoolhouses display their markers to the delight of their visitors and community. The marker speaks loudly that a preserved schoolhouse has contributed in some positive way to the appreciation and understanding of the country school experience and its unique architectural and historical heritage. Anyone who is actively involved with a schoolhouse or visits one knows of the vital role played by country schools in the establishment of our public school system and the desire of the community to produce literate. moral, and patriotic American citizens. This is a history we dare not lose. It is a history we must promote more than ever in times of rapid change in education. Please consider applying for your marker (if you don't already have one) and join us in recognizing the contribution of our forefathers for building 220,000+ one-room schools and our preservationists for saving and sharing a schoolhouse. REQUEST: CSAA would like to add to our gallery of photos of CSAA Schoolhouse Registry Schools and their sponsors on our website. If you would share a photo of your schoolhouse or marker and where you located it, that would be nice too. We look forward to seeing you! Please send those along to Susan Fineman at [email protected] with identification. THANKS!!!
