North Salem High School is doing GREAT things with their Woods Manufacturing program!!! Such meaningful work!
2 minute trailer / 6 minute music video / And for those who want to learn more, here is a 28 minute documentary!!!
Hi Paul…You were one of my first partners when I started and your support has been amazing. Together we are making a huge impact on these youth. I hope you do post it on your website. I am the keynote speaker at this years WMIA conference in Puerto Rico this month and I will show this video as well as list you as one of our industry partners. My speech is titled “How Industry’s Support impact Today’s Education”
4 years ago I reached out to you in helping me teach students to read a tape measure. When I started 98% of my beginning students failed that section. Today after handing out 500 of your tape measures that you donated every student passes 100% to earn the tape. Amazing!
I have given away all of the tapes you sent me. Starting next August we need more. Industry tells me that our Woods Manufacturing classes make us the largest woods training school in the world. More than 500 students per year are trained. Of those 500 about 150 are freshman were we teach the tape measurements.
Can you help me again please. It works and the ROI is huge. Here are a couple pictures for you.
Thank You Paul. Thanks for helping our students
