Carey School District #2

The Carey School was located on Elm Shade Road. In 1933, Gladys Rohloff was paid $70.00 per month for teaching and fire insurance on the school building was $7.61. As early as 1941, tuition of $42.94 was paid to the Randall School for students who attended classes outside of the district.

In 1944, bills included $129.55 per month to Nellie Rettschlag for teaching, $59.24 to the Clyman Lumber Company for fuel, $20.00 to William Schuett for hauling water, and $25.00 to Anita Ninmann for cleaning the school.

Students from the Carey School were transported to the Hustisford Public School in 1946, with the Carey School District paying tuition for their education. The Carey School was part of the 1951 consolidation. The school building was sold to Ruben Degner, who dismantled the building and used it to complete an addition on the west end of his building in the Village of Hustisford.

Three new pupils have enrolled in the school since April 5, They are Marcella Feilbach, seventh grade; Violet Feilbach, fourth grade; and John Feilbach, second grade. They were formerly enrolled in the Brownsville schools.

Reading circle certificates were given to the following: Ethel Ninmann, Janet Ninmann, Edwin Bachmann and Ewald Bachmann. Seals were earned by Dorla Maas, Norman Huber and Theodore Ninmann. Edwin and Ewald Bachmann have attended 100 days of school without being absent or tardy and were presented with perfect attendance certificates. Dorla Maas and Ethel Ninmann were on the honor roll for the last six weeks.

Miss Kraft inspected the school April 5 and gave the health examinations.

The bulletin boards are decorated with birds and flowers symbolic of spring. At the back of the room there is a large chart on which the arrival of our feathered friends are recorded.
