As the school year begins to wind down, we want to take a moment to thank the incredible high school students enrolled in the Building Trades program through Des Moines Area Community College. This group of students spent the school year participating in residential construction on our jobsite in the Baker Subdivision in Ames. Led by Instructor Joe Brend, these students learn in a "hands-on" environment everything from framing to finish carpentry and are prepared to enter the construction field. Thank you to the the local Casey's stores for donating pizzas for this hungry and hard-working group of young people. 🏠🛠🍕
