Sandy's first school building a single room was constructed on this property in 1881. The dimensions of the first school, painted blue, were 25 by 45 feet. Furniture included a number of chairs and a few long benches. Seats were paired side by side in three rows. The teacher's desk and a stove were also in the room. During the cold winter months the children took turns bringing in wood and coal to keep the fire burning in the stove. Older boys brought fresh water daily from the old well in Sandy's business area. At lunchtime each boy and girl drank from the single long handled dipper. Forty students all ages attended Sandy's one room school the first year.
