Industrial Tech: This week a few of the 7th graders will be finishing their projects and putting their initials on them. This will continue thru next week for some kids. For most students this has been an exciting class filled with educational growth and skill development. Most will come home with a project they will not only remember for years but hopefully use and cherish. It has been exciting, fun and enjoyable to me, to be part of their experience. If you need more information or just have a question, feel free to contact me. conference time G5 1:34-3pm or B4 11:34-1:30pm
