The fourth graders visited Stony Hill Schoolhouse in Ozaukee County on June 8. They learned what it was like to attend school in the late 1800s.
Stony Hill School is where Flag Day originated. Bernard Cigrand was the teacher at Stony Hill School, who started Flag Day on June 14, 1885.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson officially declared June 14th as National Flag Day. The kids enjoyed learning to write with a quill pen. They also visited Pioneer Village, a living museum from the late 1800s.

My son Sam (pictured above, haircut needed) really enjoyed the Stoney Hill School. Writing with the quill was one of his favorite parts, but harder than he thought it would be. Thanks to the fourth grade teachers for adding this field trip! Melissa C
