The center of community life in Buladean has closed. Buladean Elementary School closed its doors for good this week. While we haven't lived in Buladean for over 15 years, I can only imagine what losing a school can mean to a small community like Buladean. When TrailRidge was operating in Mitchell County, the neighborhood school had over 100 students in grades K-8. On its last day they were down to just over 30. Those 30 kids will now have to travel down the winding road to Bakersville come this fall.
TrailRidge had a few campers from the Buladean School and all of our kitchen staff once attended there. L. G. Sheets, mentioned in the article, was a TrailRidge friend.
So long Buladean Elementary.
