The Northern High School Ag department was honored to be able to build a shed sponsored by a Polar Bear Foundation Grant. The building supplies were bought with the grant and the students built the shed from the ground up. They learned valuable skills like framing walls, roofing, and finishing processes. They were asked to build another shed for Northern Elementary as well and have started on that project. The Northern PTO will be funding that project.
