Schools in the Millarville Area

There were many schools in the Millarville area starting from 1908. Some of these schools had only a very few students and some had more. They were a long ways from each other and the kids rode horses to school. The school teachers were always ladies and they were not married. Some of these schools were social centers for the community. One of the schools was moved to the present location of the Millarville Community School where I go to school right now. When they made the one school the others closed down.

When you went to school you would take your lunch in a metal pail. Some kids took syrup sandwiches. When they got to school they might be frozen and the teacher would have to thaw them out over the stove. Some kids took boiled potatoes in their lunch. They learned lots of math and reading at school. The schools were very strict and you had to write on slates with chalk. The teacher would ring a bell when you had to come in from recess. You can have a close look at this website where Millarville students from last year did their research.

These are some of the schools in the Millarville Area.
