Our school is currently bustling with preparations to accommodate two homeschool groups and our community's Open House, which coincides with the Fall Festival. We extend our gratitude to the Mount Horeb Fire Department for their invaluable assistance and expertise in relocating heavy, antique desks to the first floor, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the process. This partnership epitomizes the advantages of collaborative community involvement. Fire Department of Mount Horeb
