It is home to the Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified School District, Sierraville Recreation District activities, Sierra County Arts Council events, etc. This review concerns only the park to the west and south of the building. Although small at about one acre, the park features a tennis court and a basketball court, both of which have been newly resurfaced in blue and green (see photo). In addition, there is a playground, a covered picnic table, and a well-kept grassy area. The park is open to the public, and so is a perfect place to bring the family.

Even at night around the schoolhouse we would play hide & seek, maybe hold hands w/ our girlfriends, & occasionally get a kiss. During cold, rainy, or snowy weather I'd run over to the principals house; he would give me the key so my friends & I could play in the small gym. Boy, that was a different time. We loved the 8' basketball hoops set up for "biddy" basketball & we could "dunk" just like the pros. The Sierraville Schoolhouse is a beautiful old building that could tell lots of stories!

There is a phrase that gets overused these days but is no less true in this instance: Game Changer…read more This school has been an absolute game changer for our family. We started with the preschool (which I encourage any family to try) and fell in love with the educational philosophy, the classmates and their families, the campus, and what our own family has become. If you are looking for a preschool stop your search now, it's absolutely wonderful. Continuing into grade school might be something to evaluate, but the preschool is a no-brainer.

Since then, all four of my children graduated from Live Oak and have moved on to become heart-centered, insightful, intelligent adults. Through family ups and downs (including the loss of my husband), the Live Oak community has been the solid rock under our feet.

The movie admission is free and snacks are available for purchase. The school nurse and cafeteria staff are well educated in the area of food allergies, which I appreciate.

Molly Lauf, our Principal, is wonderful with the children and is always looking for ways to improve the school. The Hunsberger PTA puts on several family-friendly events throughout the year and purchases much of the state of the art technology that the school district does not provide. In addition to purchasing equipment, the PTA also supports several programs that are not offered or paid for through the district, such as Foss kits, Kindness Enrichment programs and art. The Hunsberger art program offers all students opportunities to learn about artists and different mediums such as watercolors, oil pastels, acrylics as well as ceramic art. I love seeing all of the hallways lined with the art the kids have created! Not only is the school itself great, but the parents, many of whom volunteer their time on a regular basis are fantastic and always willing to help each other and look out for each others children. I am SO glad that I chose to live where I do, and part of that decision was based on the schools we are zoned for! All in all, this school is amamzing.......now, if only there was something we could do about the chaotic parking lot traffic! (Ha!)
