Littlestown Lions fund field trips
The Littlestown Lions Club has come to the rescue of the Rolling Acres Third Grade field trips for a living history experience at the restored Mud College one-room schoolhouse.
The Lions, at a recent meeting, agreed to provide $300 to cover the cost of transportation for the seven third grade sections to spend a day at the old schoolhouse on Route 97 just north of Littlestown. The field trips have been an annual experience of the third graders, but were defunded in the school district's 2012-13 budget.
The field trips, which will see the students relive the lives of the students at Mud College in the late 1800s, will be held in May. Each current-day student will wear period dress and experience a typical day as it would have been in a one-room schoolhouse in 1896, including use of an outhouse, well pump for water and bag lunches as those earlier students would have had. Each student
will be assigned the identity of one of those former students for the day.Classroom activities during the trip will encourage thinking about the many differences between the current days students' lives and those of the children who attended the school more than 100 years ago.
