District #11 - Crawford's Corners
This school was considered to be one of the poorest buildings in this town.
However, it was one where hot lunches were served to its pupils in the early
1930s.
A little schoolhouse stands
Beneath a maple tree,
Though silent is the bell
I hear it calling me.
The leaves are falling now
As in the days of yore;
On the roof they linger
And gather at the door.
I somehow can't resist
To wander back each year
To the old country school
When autumn's drawing near.
- M.Ford, 1960; c. 2009
