JACKSON — School officials believe “many hands make light work,” and that’s been the case the past two weeks as community members have teamed up with students and staff from the Jackson Grammar School to take part in an old-fashioned timber raising for the new Legacy Outdoor Learning Pavilion being built on the campus.
“We’ve been working on this timber-frame structure for a while and now it’s time to raise it,” teacher Joan Heysler, fourth and fifth-grade teacher at Jackson Grammar School, said Monday. “We were hoping it would be a truly a community event, and it has been. Kids have been involved with the process since the design of the timber frame, and it’s been wonderful to see them interact with community volunteers.”
