Delightful visit at the site of Miller Hill School this afternoon from our next-door neighbors, Mike & Carol, and their visiting grandchildren, Selma (8) and Theo (3) from Munich, Germany. Some things, like ringing an old school bell or sitting on the concrete steps of an old one-room schoolhouse, are pretty much universal!

Delightful visit this afternoon from Jeff and Michelle Groesser who live near Flint MI. They decided to visit because Jeff is a grandson of Charlotte Groesser, who taught at the Miller Hill School in the mid-1930s. We learned from them that Charlotte use to live in the (currently) tan house next to the Glen Arbor gas station (coming from the north on M22); that she was a hard worker who also cleaned houses in the area, especially some of the bigger houses on Big Glen Lake; and that she was rather “vain”, often wearing heels as she walked from Dunn Farm Rd, up Miller Hill Rd and then down Cheney Rd to Miller Hill School. As Michelle playfully put it, “By the time Charlotte was old, her feet were a mess!” Thanks for visiting, Jeff and Michelle!

Neighborhood Spring Picnic at the Schoolyard last night. Thanks to all of the Miller Hill School neighbors who drove/walked/ biked roads or trails to join us on such a beautiful evening!

“We become neighbors when we are willing to cross the road for one another. (……) There is alot of road crossing to do. We are all very busy in our own circles. We have our own people to go to and our own affairs to take care of. But if we could cross the road once in awhile and pay attention to what is happening on the other side, we might indeed become neighbors.” -Henri J.M. Nouwen

Today our friend Bear and his grandson Jay came from Grand Rapids to visit Jay’s North Star Cherry tree at the site of Miller Hill School. The tree, planted several years ago, is growing well! We enjoyed getting out of the cold and into the nice warm house for coffee, cookies and good conversation afterwards☕️🍪♥️.

Happy Holidays from Miller Hill School!

On snowy days like this, we sometimes wonder how many snow people were created by all the children who ever attended Miller Hill School (1878-1939)??

Our youngest guests last night at the Miller Hill School Neighborhood Campfire, always a fun fall event with neighbors on Cheney Rd, Cheney Woods Trail and portions of Wheeler Rd. This gathering has been a wonderful way for Miller Hill School neighbors to connect and get to know each other. Thanks to Mike & Carol Walker for providing Gabe’s hotdogs with all the fixings this year, and to everyone else who brought a snack to share!
