Construction Academy Start Building!












The Academy kids are ready to build! FINALLY!!! Students were divided into 4 teams, with each team designing and constructing a different style "shed". As they work on the project, students are integrating skills learned about safety, time management, team member interaction and professionalism in the workplace. One shed will be selected and donated to Whatcom County's annual Home Show sponsored by our local Building Industry Association. The shed will be raffled, with proceeds being used for student scholarships. The other 3 sheds will be sold with funds returned to the program to help purchase building materials for next year's construction project.
