Carpentry and Construction Students Build Shelving for United Way

Whitewater High School Carpentry and Construction students put their skills to work for a great cause on Friday afternoon! 

Carpentry and Construction Students with Instructor Nolan Otremba

Students volunteered with United Way of Jefferson & North Walworth County, helping build bin storage for shoes that will be donated to children in need at their new office space. From design to cutting to final assembly, the entire project was completed in just one afternoon — a true showcase of their hard work and teamwork.

This was a great hands-on experience for our students, giving them the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in a real-world setting while making a meaningful impact in our community.

We’re proud of the work they did and grateful for the partnership that made it possible!
