Italy High School Ag Teacher Blake Godwin oversees the construction of a visitor side concession stand, a ticket booth and panels for the Ag Barn by the Ag students themselves.

With a rush order on the completing the concession stand, Mr. Godwin and his students have been working overtime to finish the project for the Athletic Department.

“We have worked until about 9:00 p.m. a couple of nights this week and students from all the classes have pitched in during the day,” explained Mr. Godwin in regards to the time crunch.

It’s impressive to watch the kids make use of the industrial equipment just like professionals do, whether its welding, cutting or bending metal, sawing or using air guns to nail with, the students proved they can get the job done.

With dual credit welding courses available at IHS, Ag students can now graduate with a welding license after two years of classroom experience. A great way to work one’s way through college!

Keep up the good work Ag Department, “Let’s build something!”
