Amish Scholars

Here you will see six of the 30 scholars that attend the little one room Amish school in our community. If you notice, only 1 has on shoes, and it was a cool, windy 49 degree when I took this photo this morning. They only have 2 more miles to walk from here.
The older children, especially the boys, always have a 'contest' every fall, to see who can go the longest without wearing shoes to school. It can become quiet interesting when it gets down to the final 2 or 3.
If the weather gets unfavorable with heavy rains, sleet, snow, etc., I will always pick them up for a ride to school or will be there to bring them to their homes in the late afternoon. They like that, and so do I!!
