I remember the days gone by
Walking to Silverdale School for eight years
Silverdale School was about 50 acres from where I was born and raised. I believe the school building is still there. Originally, a one-room school, it has now been made into a nice home. The Silverdale School was the school that I attended for eight years. In those eight years Dad would ask every once-in-a-while could we stay home and help pick the stones. There were days when we wanted to get out of school. It was good to walk to school regardless of what the weather conditions were. We would come home for lunch and Mom would have lunch all ready for us. One thing I was particularly proud of was that my eighth grade year in school I never missed a day in school, was never sick. I really had a good time in that one room school saw it as an advantage starting from first grade with one teacher for all students. By the time you get to the fifth and eighth grade you have heard all of that so many times, it made for a better student.
