Excerpt from Book When I was very young my favorite bedtime story was LITTLE TOOT THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD. I recalled that when Little Toot arrived at the station with his load in tact that he was very proud of his accomplishment. We the citizens of Saint Helen, found ourselves in a real bind. We had lost our school thru consolidation and we wanted our school back. We could not let our town die so we set out to accomplish the great task of getting a school back in this community. Our hometown hero is Charlton Heston. Our new charter school is named The Charlton Heston Academy.
