January 10, Whitnall Park Rotary Club was fortunate to have a presentation from Tom Hermann, Youth Apprenticeship Coordinator for the Southwest Milwaukee Consortium, and Dane and Tommy, two Whitnall High School students. Tom and the students were presenting possible building project ideas for providing learning opportunities to students in the areas of the trades. Whitnall Park Rotary is committed to providing assistance to students to enhance their knowledge of the trades. Our Club has committed $1,000 to fund a project this Spring Semester.
Dane and Tommy outlined for the Club two projects they'd like us to consider (one project will be selected for construction in 2024), the learning opportunities for the students from the projects and the benefits to the community that will be obtained after the project is completed. Whichever project is decided upon, it will be a joint effort between the Whitnall High School Tech Education and Science Departments and is expected to involve over 40 students in the Whitnall High School Building and Trades class, as well as other Whitnall students that are members of Skills USA
Whitnall Park Rotary Club is extremely excited to be part of this great project which reinforces the high need to expand students entering the trades after high school.
