The woodworking course at McCreary School is one of the finest around, and a nice boost is on the way.
Through the Skill Strategy Equipment Enhancement Fund, the school has received a grant of $50,000 that will go towards the purchase of new computers for the program. The current computers are outdated, and the new ones will provide students with a better product while carving out beautiful projects.
Jason Nadeau is the principal at McCreary School, and he's thrilled to receive the funds.
"It's amazing, we're a very humble school division and school, right in rural Manitoba," said Nadeau. "Having access to some of the latest technology will help our students continue doing incredible work, as they are now."
The work being crafted by students at the school speaks for itself.
Principal Nadeau is always incredibly impressed with the students' ability to create masterpieces out of wood, and he wants to thank Michael Annetts for his great leadership.
"We're very fortunate to have him; he's been teaching industrial arts for more than 30 years, and he's a cabinet-maker by trade," said Nadeau. "The students love him, and he always brings out the best in them."
Nadeau shares the reactions of the students in the course.
"I don't think it's hit them as much as us, understanding what this means," ended Nadeau. "They are excited to have new computers that won't freeze and will be able to handle the graphics required for this program."
Some of the finest woodworking masterpieces are coming from students at the McCreary School, and now, new computers are on the way to help enhance what the students are doing.
