We had 13 people drop by Mark Prairie today and helped us complete some more projects at the Schoolhouse. We were thrilled and so appreciative that community members donned with gloves and garden equipment came out to work for the day. Walls were sanded, grass was pulled, the yard was prepared and seeded with grass, and debris was cleaned up. We’re excited to see the schoolhouse coming back to life!
