By Thomas Worth There is now a sign leading up to the outdoor classroom. Now students and community members will know where to go when they come to the yurt for the first time. I made my sign by burning the letters into the wood by hand. It took me a full 5 days of class to be able to finish the burning on the wood. I brought up my A block class to show them the sign. They thought that it was really good. The sign hangs on a wire that is attached to two trees. I hope that future...

By Hunter LeFevre For my capstone project I made a sign to recognize everyone who helped build the yurt. The sign is two feet by two feet and made out of cedar wood.

I placed the sign on an oak post next to the yurt.  I made this sign so that everyone will know who made this great building....
