G.R.O.W Camp Day 4: Career Exploration, Community Connections, and Gratitude
Today, our GROW students visited Prater’s Flooring, where they learned that this local company is responsible for creating some of the most recognizable athletic floors in the country. With the slogan, “We make the art you play on,” Prater’s has produced flooring for professional sports organizations, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls, and Los Angeles Lakers. Students enjoyed seeing firsthand how craftsmanship, creativity, and technology come together to create world-class products.
After the tour, students stopped by the new Adventure Acres Park in Rossville before enjoying lunch together at Amigos. These experiences provided opportunities to build social skills, teamwork, and confidence while exploring our community.
To wrap up the day, students returned to school and wrote thank-you cards to the businesses and community partners who have welcomed us throughout the week. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has invested their time and support into helping our students learn about careers, workplace expectations, and opportunities for their future.
Thank you to all of our community partners for helping make GROW Camp such a meaningful experience!
