Through Citizen Schools, a nonprofit organization that provides Boston high school students with opportunities to learn through apprenticeships led by city residents, students this fall learned masonry skills and put them to use creating a custom concrete planter to give the Haley House Bakery Café in Roxbury.

The planter, shown here, highlights the Haley House logo on the front, as well as original artwork created by the students and the names of some of the participants who worked on the project. The finished product was unveiled last month at Haley House, located at 12 Dade Street in Roxbury. (Photo courtesy of Haley House) |
