We are so excited about this new program in our district. Thanks to a grant from the Three Lakes Community Foundation and the Class of 1976, our students are able to work offsite building locally right here in Three Lakes. More to come!
๐๏ธ Building Futures, One Project at a Time ๐๏ธ
The Three Lakes Community Foundation is thrilled to announce a $3,500 grant to the Three Lakes School District's building trades program for their new initiative: Building Bluejays!
This grant will help purchase a trailer and essential hand tools, letting students take on real, hands-on building projects right here in our community, without the travel time and logistical hurdles that have limited opportunities in the past.
And here's the best part: when a member of the Class of 1976 heard about this project, they were so inspired that they contributed an additional $1,000 as a pass-through grant, bringing even more momentum to this exciting new program!
The students' first major project? A garage just a block from the school grounds, and we hear a second project is already lined up for next year! ๐
This program gives students the chance to build real skills, serve their own community, and showcase their work right here at home. We are SO excited to watch this grow.
Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible โ including our generous Class of 1976 donor โ and congratulations to the Three Lakes School District on launching Building Bluejays!
