A Day in 1885

Beginning in May 2022, after the Covid pandemic field trip restrictions were lifted, the Green Local Schools 3rd Grade Field Trips to Lichtenwalter Schoolhouse resumed.  We were ready and waiting for our students in our newly reconstructed schoolhouse.  The GLS 3rd graders spend a day with us in 1885 in our 'magic' schoolhouse.  Each day one volunteer teacher and two volunteer assistants from GHS teach our students about rural farm life in Green in 1885.  The students are emersed in the experience of attending a one-room community schoolhouse.  We play historic games, use historic toys and read and do lessons from McGuffey Readers.

Schoolmarms 2.0
@ Jackson Township Schoolhouse 2016-2019

Schoolmarms Program Temporarily Relocated to Jackson Township Historical Society - Volunteers Needed

 Email to GHS Membership 3-26-17: 
          We would like to continue the 3rd Grade field trips to a local historic schoolhouse for Green Local Schools.  This program was previously run for over ten years by Carol Baltrinic and Pat Stiles at Lichtenwalter Schoolhouse.  Because we have lost our venue, Jackson Township Historical Society has graciously offered to allow us to use their facility this year.  Their schoolhouse is beautiful and will work very well for our program.  We will need at least one additional volunteer during each program to monitor the students during recess and assist with historically appropriate games and activities. 

            GHS and COG will provide the materials needed to run the recess activities.  We will be working with Pat and Carol to make sure the schoolmarms have everything they need to run their program and we will be working on Green Township specific displays including maps, flags, and photos to decorate the schoolhouse with Green-specific history.
