It feels like just yesterday my co-workers and I were making trips out to Rollingstone Community School, photographing students caring for gardens, experimenting with iPads, learning how to use a compass, and listening to tales of the old Luxembourg tradition of Saint Nicholas. Having grown up in a rural town, I can appreciate how easy it is for small towns to lose the businesses, organizations, and people that make them so special. And for a town to have its own school — few things do more to build community. Once you lose something like that it’s hard to get it back.
