We couldn't let Summer Break get here without showing off a few more shop projects. Matt Poyner with his walnut tv console as well as Ella Shelton and Jiyah Middleton with their projects. Our students have made some amazing projects and a lot went before we got a picture.
Our JH Woodworkers have been busy making wooden and plastic lures as their final project. They made 2 crank-baits and top water lures. They spent the last week fishing with them and the proof is in the pictures! What an awesome experience to catch a fish on your handmade lures!

Junior High Ag students Kole Harris and Hunter Bartlett proudly pose with the shop project they just finished up together.
Harris needed a "box" to set his families' small animal digital scales in, so they fabricated this unit which should work well.
Both Harris and Bartlett are 8th graders and have been in the Junior High Ag class for the last two years.

We would like to highlight Agriculture student Matthew Poyner this evening on this set of trailer pens he has been working on and completed today in the Ag shop.
