Scattergood students build shop wing on campus
West Branch Iowa high schoolers, 39 students, dig foundations for a new concrete block shop building at Scattergood School. The project includes a shop, library, office, and two car garage with plans for a later wing. Funds come from private gifts and the farm, and student labor complements a $20,000 annual budget. The Iowa Yearly Meeting supports upkeep as the school expands on its 12 acre site with an 80 acre farm.
