Whether you need to patch a nail hole in a wall or one much bigger, students learned today how to do it. The folks from Done Construction started the seminar by having Madison, a 10th grade student at TCS, explain the many tools used in drywall repair. Madison has experience working with her dad who is a drywall mechanic and finisher. After having some fun punching a few holes in the demonstration wall built for this purpose, the students learned about the many ways of fixing them. They learned the use of mesh, tape and corner bead as well as a very cool method called the "California patch." We are very thankful to the folks from Done for teaching these practical skills to the students each month, Thank you Beth, Sarah Sr. Catesby, Kirsten and Sarah Jr.!...

Our special guest for today's "Conversation with...
We had a really unique conversation and seminar today! Maeve Lynch came in to talk about her career as an auto body repair person and then proceeded to have a seminar on how to do a repair. The repair was on the back of the school van that had been hit many months ago while parked outside of the school. The students were amazed at the tools Maeve used and the skill she displayed, and equally by her calm and patience as she completed the tedious process. All of this was made possible by Maeve's Godfather, friend of the school and neighbor Jim Burger. Jim's wife Sue and best friend Kevin Lynch, Maeve's father, were also on hand for this seminar. Thank you so much Maeve for sharing your time talking with the students, being another great example of women in nontraditional career roles, and for doing a first rate job on the van. Thank you Jim for not only being Maeve's Godfather, but being the Godfather of the van for the 2nd time in 2 years and keeping it looking good!...
