Lessons From the One-Room Schoolhouse – Spring Creek School near Decker, Mont.

Before classes began at Spring Creek School near Decker, Mont., community volunteers cut back the grass, cleared tumbleweeds and made sure there were no rattlesnakes around the playground. Last week, the one-room schoolhouse opened for its six K-5 students.

"We all pitch in out here to support the school," says Loren Noll, a neighbor who showed up to dig weeds. Even though his 4-year-old daughter isn’t old enough to attend, Mr. Noll volunteers as chairman of the school board.
