About the Event

Join author Susan Apps-Bodilly for an evening of storytelling about a time when Wisconsin's rural children attended one-room schools. Her book One Room Schools chronicles the experiences of the students and role of the teachers while also highlighting that one room schools were more than just centers of learning: they also served as the gathering place for the community. One Room Schools will transport young readers back in time and make their grandparents and others of that generation nostalgic—perhaps even prompting them to share memories of their school days.

Susan Apps-Boddilly is a retired educator and writer holding a BA in Elementary Education and an MBA in Curriculum and Instruction. She is the author of four books, including Old Farm Country Cookbook, co-authored with her father, Jerry Apps, which was the basis of the recent PBS program "Jerry Apps, Food & Memories."
