And that's a wrap (for real this time!) Huge congrats to all the Apprentices for this semester's hard work. And thank you to everyone who came to support them by volunteering, donating, or coming to today's party!
It's the last Thursday of the semester, which means it's time to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the build. Apprentices sit together for one last time in the house they built.
Celebrate the hard work & accomplishments of our HS apprentices at our Apprentice Promotion & Crawfish Boil, sponsored by the @emerilorg & @brewed_and_distilled - see you there! . . . . #nolaed #buildnola #community #construction #buildyourfuture #nomoreskillsgap #collegeorcareerorboth #followyournola #buildinghousesframingcharacter
