Back in spring of 1979 my parents and I moved just down the road from here. There was a girl named Hannah who was the same age as me (eight) that lived in the schoolhouse and we played together.

Several months later she moved away and I never heard from her again. The one thing I remember the most of her is that she looked a little like Anne of Anne of Green Gables.

I once posted a picture [id=333652609] I found of the school from the 70s and you can see there was a little bell tower and you'll also notice there was a caboose in the yard.

Shand's School, S.S. #1, West Garafraxa Twp built in 1887.
