School has an annual Pioneer Day to go along

with the fourth grade

study of Indiana history. Teachers and community

members give pioneer demonstrations

at various stations, and

students get hands-on

experience with the

crafts and activities.

This year the stations included spinning, candles

and calligraphy, basket and butter making,

cooking, antiques,

tin punching, and playing

the dulcimer. The spinning demonstration

was given by Elaine Brovont, pictured. The

two girls spinning with

a drop spindle are (l-r) Krystil Kenworthy and

Mikayla Rosinski. Pioneer

Day was held in

the 4-H Building.
