Freshman Cody Miller helps to steady a "dog condo" frame as sophomore Patrick Green attaches the cloth material to the frame, and sophomore Kyle Stephan uses a band saw to cut PVC pipe to size for the frame in the construction technology class at Madison Consolidated High School.
The students' work was for the Elevated Dog Bed Project. The beds, also called dog condos, are for local shelters and rescue operations, and is being funded by Bridges for Animals in Madison and the Scottsburg Environmental Club at Scottsburg High School. Additional materials were provided by the Columbus Dog Connection in Ohio. Six large and two small beds will go to the Leota Animal Rescue facility in Scottsburg and two will go the Madison-Jefferson County Animal Shelter in Madison.
The project is one of several community service projects that the MCHS construction technology class took on this school year. Last week, the students also made picnic tables for the Kent Volunteer Fire Department and the Faith Alliance Church in Madison. Teacher Mike Frazier said the projects are good for the local organizations and for the students because they get to build things that will be of use in their hometowns. (Staff photos by Ken Ritchie)
