A special day in PHS’ Woodshop! We are filled with gratitude for Jim Willis, who generously donated an entire truckload of furniture-grade hardwood lumber in various species, along with an impressive selection of tools. His contribution included a sharpening system, a bench-top hollow chisel mortising machine, a handheld router and a wide array of clamps—all equipment that will significantly enhance our students’ ability to design, build and learn in their Woodshop classes.
Donations like this do much more than simply stock our shop; they create invaluable opportunities. Thanks to Mr. Willis’ generosity, our students will gain access to high-quality materials and professional-grade tools, elevating both the craftsmanship of their projects and the depth of their learning experience.
We are sincerely appreciative of his support, his service to our country and his ongoing investment in the next generation of skilled tradespeople and makers.
