New snow means good clean fun!
Let’s go fishing! The Fish and Wildlife class has been working on constructing ice fishing poles. They had to find the spine of the rod, construct the handle, and thread the guides onto the pole. Constructing a fishing rod is a time consuming process, and some of the students had to learn patience.
