Facilities Management lends a hand through North

By Connor Jepson

Plymouth North is full of unique students and teachers going above and beyond in a myriad of ways Mr Dave South and his Facilities Management program are using their skills and expertise for generosity throughout the school

Facilities Management is a tech program offered at North that prepares students for working in the future by providing them with many hands-on skills To demonstrate these skills that students have these skills that students have acquired, Mr South has offered his students efforts as well as class time for others around the school “I’m really proud of their work,” said South.

Some of their hard work includes a brand new PNN desk which was a major upgrade The new desk has a PNN logo and an Eagle engraved into it as well as a monitor that can help display any news story

“The Senior class took over... a lot of their carpentry went well beyond what’s covered in the frameworks of the program,” said Mr. South.

With a lot of hard work in more than two months of class time from the Facilities students mixed with Mr. South’s creativity and generosity, they offered a truly remarkable gift

“I’m grateful for the Facilities program,” said PNN member Brenna Guiliani “I’m just glad others in our school want to help make our lives easier ”

This same sentiment can be found with a number of people across the building because their work isn’t just what you see on TV Another considerate project that Facilities took part in was building awards for the soccer teams These awards were wooden plaques that represented the team’s success Students started the awards by sanding them, they then imprinted logos, and they put the finishing touches on by staining the awards.

“I’ve put a lot of time into these projects for this class,” said Senior in Facilities Anthony Ferrante “That’s why I like taking Facilities, it’s so hands-on.”

The students in Facilities Management put so much into their work and it shows with the quality of it. Many nice things in our school come because of the work they put in Be sure to thank Mr South or one of his students for their selfless hard work around the school As students continue to work, we can’t wait to see the next big Facilities project!
