WEMOCO carpentry teachers Karl Church (left) and Pete Sharpe join new homeowner, Flavia Cooke, at the dedication of the third Flower City Habitat for Humanity house that BOCES 2 WEMOCO students and their teachers helped build for a family.
WEMOCO students studying carpentry, HVAC, residential electric and plumbing and heating, build the house in two parts at the BOCES 2 Career and Technical Education Center in Spencerport. It is then moved to a Habitat for Humanity site to be completed by volunteers.
Church presented the new homeowners with a hammer to symbolize the hard work and 450 hours of sweat-equity that Cooke and her family put into her new home.
Volunteers from the Rochester community including WEMOCO students helped the family finish the home on-site with over 1,700 hours of work.
