TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS

"The students at H.E. Beriault are incredibly grateful for the Tools for Schools program. Your support has provided the students here with access to new tools and techniques that have improved their building ability and increased the quality of production.

Our group project was completed by one of the Grade 8 Construction classes at the school. The brainstorming session was an important part of the project as the students went through numerous ideas until landing on a bench for the front of our school. Their main concern was creating a project that was going to benefit the school community as a whole, while leaving a lasting legacy.

"As part of the Tools for Schools program, our Grade 9 students had the opportunity to engage in a meaningful hands-on construction project that combined creativity, sustainability, and community spirit.

Using the tools generously provided through the program, students designed and built a beautiful wishing well-style planter to enhance the front entrance of our school. What makes this project especially unique is that students recycled the wooden crate that the tools themselves were delivered in, demonstrating not only craftsmanship but environmental responsibility."

"We at St. Hilda thank you for your generous donation of tools. The lathe has quickly become a fan favourite amongst the grade nine students and has already produced some cool projects. Your support has already had an impact on our CTF: Construction program, giving students access to a wider range of equipment that our normal funding would not have been able to provide.

The plywood has found its way into a variety of our students’ projects, including desk organizers, cabinets, and other small projects. The 2x6s from the crate were repurposed into a slat bench to use in the school."

"The students at Fr. Michael McCaffery are very thankful for the tools and materials from Tools for Schools!

In our first year of being operational, the program allowed us to fill some gaps and helped our semesters run much more efficiently. A large part of our tool order included additional clamps, so we thought it would be fitting to use some of the materials from the crate to create components of our mobile clamp rack such as the base and paper holder. This project is still in progress, and our students next year will continue adding to it, so that will be something that benefits our program for many years to come!"

We received a 3D printer, which our Grade 8 students will use so that they have something
else to work on once they’re done with their CO2 cars. I also ordered wood-burning tools for my Grade 7 students for their motivational signs. Finally, the rest of the wood was used to make another lost and found bin for the school.

Once again, thank you so much for your great contribution to the St. Brendan community!"

"Cardinal Leger Catholic Junior High School was very fortunate and appreciative to receive tools and equipment for use in the Construction program.

The equipment arrived in crates made of 2X4 lumber. In an effort to reuse and repurpose, the students were challenged to use the lumber to build a product. After some brainstorming of ideas, the students decided to build a sitting bench."

"On behalf of our participating schools and students, we extend our sincere thanks to the Edmonton Construction Association for your generosity through the Tools for Schools program.

Your support has a meaningful impact helping students develop practical skills, complete creative projects, and gain hands-on experience that can inspire future pathways in the skilled trades. Your contribution will resonate in our classrooms for years to come."
