Dual Credit Carpentry Program and keen students spark a media story:
CBC news story about the MANS carpentry program:
In a carpentry workshop at a private school near Maskwacis, Alta., Kascey Crier puts the finishing touches on a black skateboard she has built herself.
The words “Skateboarding is not a crime” are spelled out in block letters across the bottom of the board.
“It’s probably the first year I’m actually excited about school,” Crier, 16, said in an interview last week. “There’s a reason for it now.”
Carpentry is helping Crier and other high school students carve out new paths for themselves at Mamawi Atosketan, a K-12 Seventh-day Adventist school that serves First Nations students.
