Building birdhouses and life skills
A group of students at Stillwater Area High School created bluebird houses with the help of local volunteers. Over the past few weeks Jim Feldman and Paul Olson donated their time to work with the students in cutting, sanding, building and painting the birdhouses.
The experience allowed the students of various abilities to learn skills that may assist them as they transition to life beyond high school. Thank you to the Partnership Plan for supplying the materials and equipment. More photos on Facebook.
