Four community organizations came together on Oct. 20 to spruce up the grounds and buildings of the historic North Grove School, a one-room schoolhouse built in 1878.

The four groups were the Sycamore Rotary Club, Sycamore High School’s Interact and Key clubs, and Sycamore Kiwanis.

Lead by two Sycamore High School students, junior Jake Winters and sophomore Jeremy Swedberg, more than 30 volunteers spent part of their Saturday clearing brush, scraping and painting the perimeter fence, the two outhouses, the buggy shed and the school.
