The
first
school
of
Fairy
was built on the hill north of town in 1886. It was a small one-room, and
there were very few students.
In 1900
when Professor Randal was teacher, more rooms and a top story were added.
All public gatherings were held in the top of the school house. Several
years after that the top was torn off. The building remained until 1930.
It was decided we need a larger and better building, so it was torn down.
The
new building has five class rooms, an auditorium, a stage, an office, and
a library. The building was completed
July 15, 1930
.
In
1934 the building became so crowded that a two-room building was made for
the first, second, third and fourth grades.
We
have very splendid equipment. We have one of the best and prettiest
Science rooms that can be found nearly anywhere. At playtime the small
children enjoy playing on the seesaws and slide, while the older ones
engage in ball playing. We appreciate this equipment and want to keep it
in good condition.
Fairy
school has very splendid citizenship.
We
also have a partial affiliation.

Agee, Long
