… two solemn youngsters handed Mrs. Rogers a dime and three pennies. She thought there was some mistake, but they assured her they wanted her to have these, “because you tell stories so good.” This was a real reward after several years as hard working coordinator of the library volunteers….
Community raised $112.00 as part of the cost of dentist visits for the community and the school children.
[Revised mission after consolidation.]
Pine Mountain Settlement School is in a narrow valley in southeastern Kentucky. It is a private organization Christian in motivation, but non-sectarian, which cooperates with the Harlan County Board of Education to bring more than 200 children from seven one-room school districts to a consolidated school, grades one through ten, on the Pine Mountain grounds. The county pays six well-qualified teachers and supplies buses and drivers. [Burton Rogers, Director]
