Students in Ms. Morgan’s Project Lead the Way class had an exciting hands-on learning experience this week thanks to a special visit from Rob, a professional carpenter from Home Depot.
Rob shared his expertise with students, demonstrating the proper way to use a wood chisel and explaining why safety is the most important part of any woodworking project. He walked students through real-world techniques, answered their questions, and showed them how professionals approach precision and craftsmanship.
This interactive demonstration not only supported the skills students are building in PLTW, but also helped them see the real-life applications of the concepts they’re learning in class. We are grateful to Rob and to Home Depot for providing our students with such a valuable and engaging learning opportunity!
We are collecting essential items like:
Dry/Wet Puppy Food & Dry Adult Dog Food
