Students in the advanced NorthSTAR courses grabbed their DeWALT bags as students in the introductory courses began hauling lumber.

Materials were provided by the Field of Dreams, which in turn received the free labor of students, who in turn helped put their newfound construction skills to good use in the community.

Students wasted no time getting to work, as the morning sun shone low over the all-inclusive sports complex.

The planter beds will line the athletic fields that hosts inclusive games throughout the year, including the recent matchups between the Inspirational Hawks and football players from Toms River Schools.

Lifting, hauling, installing: Each NorthSTAR student played a role in helping to beautify a facility that means a whole lot to a whole lot of people. Bravo.
