Little Red School House Summer Enrichment Program

The Little Red School House on First Street in Cedar Falls will again be the site of a summer enrichment program where children from first through sixth grade can experience what it would have been like to go to a one room country school in the early 1900s.

This year four different weeks will be offered: June 18 - 22 , July 9 - 13, July 23 - 27 and August 6 - 10.


Reading , writing, and arithmetic will be stressed along with local and national history and geography. The history emphasis will feature the Kellogg’s Cereal Company celebrating its 100th anniversary and Ben Franklin who was born 300 years ago.

Old fashioned games will be played at recess and this year the crafts will include rope making . The field trips this year will be to the restored Blackhawk Hotel and to the Oster Regent Theater. A program for parents and grandparents and friends will be presented on the Friday of each session at 11:30 am and homemade ice cream cranked by the children will be served after the program.

The hours are from 9:00 am until 12:30 pm and the children bring their own lunch. The cost is $ 50 for the entire week.
