What started as a new construction class at Sutton Public Schools is quickly becoming a hands-on way for students to learn valuable trade skills while giving back to their community.

Under the direction of industrial technology teacher Mr. Ramer, students have already completed projects for local organizations, including building a new privacy fence at Gee’s Greenhouse. Plans are also underway for students to potentially assist The Bread Box with renovations at its new location.

The program began after school administrators approved a construction class designed to teach students practical, hands-on building skills.
