Jayden had been part of 1881 since the 7th grade—from our afterschool program, to our homeschool program, to our apprenticeship, and eventually to full-time employment at Laitram.

So we were so pleased when Jayden texted us to share that he had been promoted to Machinist 1.

We took a step back from social media to focus on what matters most - our students.

The last project that our interns built was this picnic table and benches for . Their community garden is all donated to families in need. We love that we were able to build their volunteers a comfy place to chill out between harvesting.
