The Historic One-Room Oxford Schoolhouse, located in Ironwoods Park at 147th & Mission Road, Leawood, will celebrate the start of the school year on Saturday, August 25, 2012 with a fun event for kids. The docents of Oxford School, dressed in period costumes, will host this event from 10:00 am-2:00 pm in and around the schoolhouse.

Children will make crafts, play games and help hand-crank homemade ice cream. Enjoy refreshments and old-time music performed by the Scott Klamm Band. The Oxford School docents encourage people of all ages to celebrate with us.

The Oxford School House is also available by appointment for programs year-round to groups of all ages, any day of the week for a nominal fee. Scout programs can also fulfill badge requirements. Fieldtrips are offered to elementary school classrooms throughout the school-year.

The school will be open to the public daily through August at no charge. The docents will also hold open houses from September 1st through November 18th, Saturdays from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and Sundays 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
