Here's an update on the Constructing a Brighter Future project! Our students have started painting and assembling the walls of the shelters! In conjunction with McKenzie School District and other local school districts, Lane ESD and Lane Workforce have come together to help combat houselessness in Lane County. Constructing a Brighter Future gives high school students all over the county the opportunity to build shelters for people experiencing houselessness in our community. This year-long effort at our school is led by Mr. Seth O'Hara and has quickly become a favorite class of our students. We admire their dedication and effort on this project and are excited to relocate this shelter to its future resident! Read more about this project here: https://www.laneworkforce.org/constructing-a-brighter-future/
