K-5 and Middle School Students on Careers in Construction
During Build Your Future’s (BYF) Careers in Construction Month, BYF, CARBO Ceramics, Robins & Morton and the Jenkins County School System in Georgia joined forces to plan various construction-related activities throughout the month to engage students in elementary school, middle school and high school. Those activities included an art contest for students in kindergarten through 5th grade and an essay contest for students in middle school.
In the art contest, students drew either their favorite building or as someone who builds America. There was a first place winner in each grade level and second and third places in grades K-2 and 3-5. Winners were presented gifted cards provided by the sponsors.
