Congratulations to all of the students that participated and represented our high school, and good luck, as several of these students prepare for the State Land and Homesite Competition next week!
Their generosity went far beyond their time. They donated logs, equipment, and their expertise to help us produce quality lumber while keeping the cost of our woodworking projects as low as possible. Their willingness to share their resources and knowledge provides our students with valuable hands-on learning experiences that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience.
I cannot thank Jim, Rod, Kannette, and Bill enough for their tremendous contribution and continued support of the Industrial Arts program. I also want to thank Hayden E, Karsen, and Gavin for staying after school until late so we could finish milling the last logs. I am blessed to teach at a school where the kids are willing to lend a helping hand until the job is done. I also want to thank the students for helping in this process, and hopefully they learned a bit about milling lumber.
We were able to produce some beautiful ash and hackberry boards, as well as mill pin oak, elm, mulberry, and walnut. We are excited to put this locally sourced lumber to good use in future student projects!
Thank you again for investing your time, resources, and expertise in our students and our program. Your support is truly appreciated!
The Industrial Arts program is incredibly grateful to those who continue to think of our students and invest in their learning. We have been fortunate to receive several thoughtful donations over the past few weeks. A special thank-you to Hayden E. for donating two sanders, and to the Milam family for their generous donation of mirrors, a level, and C-clamps. Our students will put these tools and materials to great use as they develop hands-on skills.
Thanks, Judge Cohorst!
What a great real-world project that gives students the chance to practice communication, organization, teamwork, and technical skills—all while creating something to share with our community.
