MP Partners with HES
in Pine Derby Racecar Production
Mary Persons Carpentry students got to spend part of their
Friday
afternoon showing off their crazy band saw skills by cutting out pinewood derby cars for Mrs. Davis' 4th grade students. It was an opportunity for the MP students to teach some of the basics of tools safety while enjoying a trip down memory lane. Many of the Carpentry students remember building their own Pinewood Derby cars and several are Hubbard Alumni. Thanks Mrs. Davis for a chance to help out.
