It Takes a Village

In the one room school houses of long ago, students of varying ages and abilities all worked together to learn and grow.  The same is true at heathers' old Skool Village.  People with different types of skils are involved in making or programs a success; these include parents, teachers, tradesmen, local business owners, social workers, clergy and civic leaders.  It truly takes a village!  See our gallery journey below to complete the original schoolhouse.
