Students from the Paducah Innovation Hub Carpentry program had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Wheatley’s Kindergarten classroom at McNabb Elementary. The carpentry students built a platform for Mrs. Wheatley's classroom to go in front of her whiteboard so students can reach the board. The high school carpenters spoke about tools, safety, and the process of building the platform. Pictured: Destiny Patterson, Landon Elifritz and Ben Bliss.
