La Grange High School Construction Trades would like to extend a sincere thank you to Farmers Lumber Company of La Grange for their generous donation of more than $10,000 worth of wood and construction materials to the program.
This donation will make a major impact on the students in the Construction Trades class. Students will use the lumber and supplies to build projects for local county shows. In addition, some of the donated materials will help students gain hands-on experience in key trades, including plumbing, electrical work, HVAC basics, and general construction skills.
Pictured with the donated materials are La Grange High School Construction Trades students, Walt Jackson & Gerald Tieken from Farmers Lumber, and retiring Construction Trades teacher Freddie Behnke, and new Construction Trades teacher Charles Otto.
