The
hamlet of Star Lake, New York has an old school which was built in l882
which is no longer in use. Many of the people in the community
want to save it as a historical site and put it to good use. This
webpage is dedicated to that purpose.
MISSION STATEMENT
A group of concerned citizens trying to save the old school building in the most diplomatic, economical, and productive way possible with the sole purpose of enriching our community.
It is 2009 and we are now looking forward to the summer when work can resume on the school. Reviewing the past we know that the ceiling has been completed and that the walls need some repair work before they can be painted. The electrical work was completed with only minor additions. The bathroom has been approved for upgrading. Many of the members of the group believe that a new roof should be approved. The repair and resurfacing of the floor will be considered this year also.
.
Two Monday morning meetings have been held so far in June. The latest meeting on the fifteenth, a small crew consisting of Bob, George, Feets, Joe, and Phil put up plastic sheeting over the windows in anticipation of applying retardant paint on the ceiling. It was decided that the painting on the ceiling and the walls would be done professionally.
A general meeting is being planned for July when decisions for the year will be discussed.

We finished 2008 with the Fun Run (below). The outside of the building was completely painted in 2007 and we continued in 2008 working on the inside redoing the ceilings with new narrow boards, major electrical work and refinishing the walls.
