Throughout the school year students from all over the county have given
their time, energy and enthusiasm to our mission. Habitat would like to thank all our students who hammered a nail,
picked up a paintbrush, planted a flower or did whatever was necessary to make our community a better place. On behalf of
all those you helped, thank you. Our future is bright in the hands of young men and women such as you!
Mon
Don Students Learn a Few Tips Then Get to Work
Do you think you know
how to paint? Easy right? Just do a little taping, mix the paint and roll away! This is what the students of Monsignor Donovan's
Habitat Chapter thought when they showed up on the site. However, after a clinic by Chris, a Valspar representative, they
learned that painting a wall is really an art!
It didn't take
long though and the students were ready to put there new found skills to the test, painting the bedrooms of the Manchester
house. Below are pictures from their day at the site.
Below are pictures of Jackson Memorial High School students putting siding
on the Manchester home.
Thank You Manchester High School
Recently, the members of Manchester High School's Habitat
Chapter kicked off their "Brick by Brick" initiative. Students and staff were asked to purchase a brick that was
worth a monetary value based on what the brick was actully purchasing. Two dollars purchased a 2 by 4, $12.00 a flat a flowers
etc. etc. all the way up to items such as a front door and windows. The bricks were then placed in the shape of a home - similar
to the one being built right in their neighborhood. Not only that, the house will be the new home to three Manchester students!
Suzan Fichtner,
the Executive Director of NOHFH accepted a check for $1,075.00! That will buy our new homeowners plenty of bricks! Thank
you Manchester for your generous check and for helping one of your own.
Brick Memorial High School Chapter Lends a Hand
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
The following pictures show the students from the Brick Memorial Habitat Chapter hard at work on the Manchester home. Thank
you for giving us your time, energy and enthusiasm as well as your new found skills!
Manchester High School Students Help One of Their Own
Students
from the Manchester High School Habitat Chapter had extra incentive when they arrived at the newest Habitat house. The homeowners
include fellow students from the Manchester School District. So they donned their hardhats and went to work putting
up drywall. At the end of the day the students left exhausted but excited knowing they had truly helped neighbors.
