On April 27-29, thirteen Fond du Lac and Dodge County schools and over 730 students participated in the “Homes of our Own” program, sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Fond du Lac and Dodge Counties, Inc. and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
With the help and generosity of numerous presenters (HBA members) and Chairperson Mike Wirtz, this program continues to be a great success.
What is Homes of Our Own?
A classroom video will introduce students to a tree with a dream and a destiny – a tree who wants to become a home. This delightfully amusing 10-minute videotape is narrated by the tree itself as it is converted into lumber, the world’s most environmentally compatible building material.
From forest to sawmill to building site, the tree guides students through the important key role wood plays in providing us with shelter. Along the way, students will learn how a house is built; why wood is a renewable resource, and how wise resource management ensures that we will always have forests and enough trees for new homes.
A tree sapling and coloring book are given to the students by the Home Builders Association.
Because of the program’s success, “Homes of our Own” will continue next year. For information on how your school can become involved for the 2010-2011 school year, please call 920-922-9067. |
