**Town and school history**
The Moosejaw School was founded in 1801 by a local sheperd, Alexander Sirrocco, who built the foundations of the school with the help of the local community. By the 1900's, the school served as the major educational centre for 5-11 year olds in the area, and attracted substantial Government Funding. The funding was used to setup the Railside School, which was held every weekend on passenger trains travelling on the Santa Fe or Rocky Island Railroads. The children were taught valuable life lessons, as well as reinforcing core teachings learned throughout the week. These were a major success, and led to a massive surge of student numbers from all over the county, however this was short lived as the child-chowder incidents of the 1930's strongly decreased participation.

Much has been made of these 'child-chowder' incidents, although we here at the Railroad School still believe it to be a story concocted by some Liberal troublemakers. Despite the disappearance of 56 children between 1930 and 1939, and the installation of chowder cooking facilities in the train cabins, we still maintain this was a poorly handled situation on bahalf of the justice department. Even though several key members were caught in the act of making child-chowder, this does not reflect on our school. Niether do the several incidents that occurred in the years that followed. Despite the shutting down of the school in 2004 after the 129th child-chowder case, we maintian the spirit of the school on this wiki.


 * Join in the Fun!**

Does your child either require additional support to help them get through school? Or are they advanced and ready to move on to more difficult work? Either way, the Railroad Scool is here to help! Our new offices are located at 1 Park Lane (ask Mrs Wetherall in the house to be let into the back shed where we meet). We have the latest education tools to help your child, and we also have superb chowder cooking facilities to cater for all.

We'll spend most of our time, setting up a wiki and discussing how we will use it with students.
