SONIA LOFGREN takes a break from raking leaves Tuesday at the Growstown School at the corner of Church and Woodside roads in Brunswick. The school was built in 1849 and was used by the town until 1950. A neighborhood committee saved the school from destruction in 1971, and today, the schoolhouse serves as a classroom for experiential learning that shows students what a typical school day in the 1850s was like. “I’m happy to do my little bit — everybody should,” Lofgren said.
