The school originally started out as a chicken coop! The is was decided that childrens education was more important then chickens - so out with the chickens (they never actually started using it as a chicken coop) and in with the students!!
This 2 room class has been a God-send - for having opened in January of 2010! The children all are excited about it and are ready to learn - plus they do not have to walk the 5 miles to and from the closest public (still costs $$) daily. Heather Raddatz has come onboard to get the school going - (a local Sherwood girl!) since August of 2009; and will be hanging on for a second year - to make sure the school has a solid foundation. Way to go Heather!! The consequences of the learning that will occur here will have an impact for these youth, the community and generations to come - and will provide for much needed hope!
