Students from Mr.Clausen's Building Trades class are building a shed again this year as a class project and a fundraiser for the Industrial Technology program. The size of the shed is 8'x10' with a 4' wide roll up door and 2 windows. Sheds are built on a treated wooden floor, 2x4 walls 16'' on center stud spacing and will be built at the school and moved to your location. Since the shed will be moved, there are miles from the school, space and land requirements for us to be able to get the shed in its desired location. An example of what we built last year is in the photo.

If you are interested in more details email Mr. Clausen at:

Last Friday, high school students attended the Mary Greeley Healthcare Career Day. Students had the opportunity to tour Rehab and Wellness, the West Tower, Radiology, Cath Lab, and Wound Clinic. In between tours, students participated in hands-on activities with the skills lab, respiratory therapy, and active rehab/diabetic education. We were treated to lunch and a Q&A session with MGMC leader's. We also got to see so many familiar faces! A huge thank you to Hannah and Tammy with Mary Greeley for such an immersive experience! #SailNorse
