They Can Do It: Kids Take Primary Role in Community Project, Make Learning Meaningful.
Active Learner: A Foxfire Journal for Teachers, v5 n1 p34-38 Win 2000
An Idaho community worked together to build a performing arts building on school property. Students from the school, which had been using the Foxfire approach for several years, selected the site, did the surveying, and helped with the timber frame construction. The project fostered a renewed sense of community for a town suffering from declining timber industry revenues. (TD)
