Demolition and Salvage - From One School to Another

Nicholas Burk (Agent 201200001) and Connie Freeman (Agent 201200002) helped to demolish Olympus High School while salvaging important items such as white boards, shelves and cabinets for the American Preparatory Academy charter schools. This took place at 4055 S 2300 East, Holladay, UT on April 12th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. They worked with Jeremy Williams and other founders for the "Draper 2" school. In their own words...

"Many teams worked in the old building about to be demolished. SWAT teams regularly trained with explosives bursting doors open and volunteers were busy at work. We unscrewed white boards from the walls and hauled them from the third level out the front door, along with large cabinets, sets of shelves and other classroom furniture."

Way to be!

Spray-painting, Schools and Service

Nicholas Burk (Agent 201200001) Connie Freeman (Agent 201200002) and Liz Willey (Agent 201200004) participated in school construction at 3636 W. 3100 S. West Valley City, UT on September 1st for four hours! They worked with Jeremy Williams and Stacey Lowe. In their own words...

"We helped teachers by assembling student materials, creating bulletin boards and by transporting instruments to the correct classrooms. We mostly worked with the construction crew in spray-painting desks black for 5th grade class rooms. It was fun."

Nice work!

One more classroom ready for students!

Connie Freeman (Agent 201200002) helped set up a classroom at 1255 West Crystal Ave , West Valley City, UT on August 2th for six hours! In her own words...

"I helped organize, cut, and copy papers that will be used in the classroom. The office needed some help with cleaning and sorting dockets to be reused or returned to students. Most of what I did involved organizing things."

Keep up the good work!

Heroics in Wisconsin

They say "what goes around, comes around." I had a kick out of this story of service. Sometimes real life is better than fiction.

Heroics in Logan, Utah

It is amazing to hear about stories of people stepping up in a moment of need. I also find this story inspiring as it shows the impact many people have in a situation where one or two people would not have been enough. I hope to see more of this on the news. Way to be Logan.
