A One Room School

Back in 1905 when Malmborg, Montana's one room school was built there were perhaps 200,000 such tiny schools nationwide.  Today there are maybe 400 remaining with about 60 in Montana.  Lauren Miller of "The Bozeman Daily Chronicle" did a truly excellent article on Malmborg's one room school.  It's just about as good a story about a small school as you'll ever find in the main stream media.

Lauren Miller's sweet article isn't dated (at least that we can find) but we'd guess it was published early in the 2024-25 school year.  The copyrighted article is filled with great quotes and pertinent insights.  It's a credit to the journalist's craft!  We're hoping to get formal permission to continue this share.

As Teacher Alison Bramlet said: “I’m home. I love this place. I just feel like it’s so much fun. I don’t ever not want to come to work. Everyday I get up and I’m like ‘I get to go to school’ and I’m so excited about it.”
