One Room Schoolhouse No. 3, Inc. exceeds $15,000 Matching Challenge as America Celebrates 250 Years of Independence.
As communities across the nation commemorate America's 250th birthday, supporters of the historic 1875 One Room Schoolhouse No. 3 have a special reason to celebrate.
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of donors near and far, the community has far exceeded its $15,000 philanthropic matching challenge, providing a tremendous boost to the effort to preserve one of Indiana's treasured one-room schoolhouses.
This milestone is a fitting tribute to 250 years of American history and the enduring importance of protecting the places where generations of children first learned to read, write, and become engaged citizens. Every dollar contributed honors our nation's past while investing in the education and inspiration of future generations in our Delaware County community and beyond.
The Board of Directors of One Room Schoolhouse No. 3, Inc. extends its heartfelt gratitude to the donors offering the match; Gary Addison, Garrett & Colleen Cooper, and every donor who responded, making this goal possible.
Together, we are ensuring that this remarkable 1875 landmark will continue telling its story for generations to come. Thanks again to everyone!
