Yahara Valley consolidated four one-room school houses: Eagle, Lineau, Miller, and Stevens. The school was founded in 1960, but the 60th anniversary celebration was delayed a year due to the covid pandemic.
Yahara alum Dan Reilly will provide live music. A picnic lunch will be served, featuring alum Dave Wheeler’s famous pork barbeque sandwiches.
The outdoor classroom will be dedicated at 6 pm. Attendees are asked to bring their own chairs.
