This public school in Michigan is 113 years old.

All six kids learn in one room. The teacher is the bus driver too.

Two students will go to high school next year. Will more students come to the school?

READ MORE: The Elm River Township School is in a rural (not city) part of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The teacher-principal has third, fourth, seventh, and eighth grade kids all in one room. The old school has its original chalkboards and creaky wooden floor. But it also has computers, new books, and a teacher who can help each child learn. God is our best teacher. Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.”
