Tuesday's Fun Fact
From design to finished product....Family and Consumer Science (FACS) 1 students have been learning about basic sewing construction skills. They designed their own projects and sewed a "pillow" using basic stitches like backstitch, running stitch, ladder stitch, blanket stitch, and whip stitch. They loved seeing their designs come to life! Look at those proud faces!
Quick grill update!
Welding students have been steadily working on this custom grill. They have finished up most of the fab work on it. Next up is paint! Be sure to check back later to see the completed project!
