The first officers included: W.C. Ryan, president; Mary Thrasher, vice-president; Dora Kreis, recording secretary; M.L. Lavy, treasurer; Ruth Ferris and Eva Klinck, trustees.

Envelopes for Memorial Donations
If an educator becomes deceased, CCRTA has donation envelopes that can be placed by the sign-in register at the funeral home.
Those vistors wishing to make a donation to the One Room School or the Scholarship Fund in memory of the deceased can then give or send the envelope to our CCRTA treasurer, Nancy Rix. See Nancy to obtain these envelopes.
Thank you.
One Room School Has Its Own Web Site
To better publicize and inform anyone about CCRTA's Advance One Room School, a web site was built. It is full of photos, history, and educational and human interest details.
From teachers interested in field trips to the general public, the web site helps share the significance of this very special CCRTA project.
