Mr. Venatta's senior woodworking and maintenance students put their skills to the test by building a shed throughout the semester. The students gained valuable experience learning how to frame the structure, adding siding to the walls, and roofing the shed. The Post Prom committee recently purchased the shed to help store their materials. Pictured are the students who built the shed and Mr. Venatta accepting the check from the Post Prom president, Dawn Peters.
