Sawing for Schools at Central Middle set for Ellen and Vegas
A group of students at Central Middle School are about to go on the field trip of a lifetime.
Eight students, to be exact, will be travelling to Calgary on April 21 to attend ‘A Conversation With Ellen’ featuring Ellen DeGeneres, before jet-setting to Vegas from April 29 to May 4.
The group is part of the Sawing for Schools club, an after-hours program for students interested in woodworking, building using re-purposed trees, and other environmental learning projects.
Shawn Moore, Owner of Trimmed Line Tree Services and Sawing for Schools, explains that while in Vegas, the kids will attend the indoor Ag-Con show to learn about indoor agriculture and vertical farming. They plan to meet with two companies which offer the materials needed to build an outdoor classroom at Central, the funding for which will hopefully come from their application to the Co-op Community Spaces grant program.
