Carpentry Students Build Barricades for State Police Training
Carpentry students in grades 9 and 10 at Kaynor recently completed a significant project that has brought them recognition and practical experience. Under the guidance of their dedicated teachers—Mr. Tema, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Spellman—these young craftsmen constructed 35 state police barricades, contributing to the training and preparedness of local law enforcement.The school’s School Resource Officer (SRO), who is also a state police officer, played a pivotal role in this initiative. Working alongside the students, the SRO provided insights into how the barricades would be used in real-life training scenarios, offering a practical perspective that enhanced the educational experience.This project serves as an excellent example of how educational institutions can collaborate with community organizations to provide students with hands-on learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom. The carpentry students` dedication and skill have made a tangible impact, supporting the vital work of state police officers and underscoring the importance of vocational training in schools.#cttech #ctstatetrooper #kaynor #bestschool #vocationaltraining
