We had the chance to reinforce learning by connecting knowledge with experience this week. We had an opportunity to visit the Pleasant Grove Elementary School construction performed by Wharton-Smith. Students got the chance to see ICF construction, brick masonry, MEP systems, asphalt construction, and many other elements of the construction industry. And most importantly they saw the power of working as a team. Special thanks go to WS and UWF-ABC Student chapter for organizing such a great event.
