School made the grade at the
Kootenay Value-Added Wood
Forum's student competition.

The students, who took third
place in the junior high category,
competed in Revelstoke last
weekend against 22 other teams
from across the Kootenays.

Coach Chris Foster said he and
fellow coach, Mike Halisheff,
were impressed with the outcome
of the competition which required
students to design and build cre-
ative wood products, as well as
develop a business plan.

“We were quite pleased. The
students did extremely well,” said
