Student Council Travels to Habitat for Humanity Work site

Friday January 21, 201, All of our Tom Daniels Student Council members were invited to take a tour of the Habitat for Humanity worksite here in Kerrville.   Dan Mitchell, the construction manage, led the tour explaining how we were fortunate to see the 5 different stages of the building of the houses.  They had just poured the foundation of one, another was framed, another house had the dry wall up, a fourth house had the trim, paint and doors on, and the fifth house was just about complete, they were adding landscape.

We learned that the Kerrville Habitat had been in existence for 20 years.  In order to qualify for a habitat for humanity house, you must fill out an application.  Once you are apporved, you and your family put in "sweat equity" to use as your down payment!  Our student council will be returning to help clean-up the grounds by picking up trash and sweeping.  We are not able to help build yet, you have to be at least 16.  It was a great trip!
