Norwood – Stars will be shining a little bit brighter over Hastings this Christmas thanks to the talent and hard work of students in the manufacturing program at Norwood District High School (NDHS).
“We can’t thank them enough,” said Stephen Roddy, chair of the Hastings Revitalization Association(HRA), the organization that asked for the school’s help on the project.
For the Grade 12 students it’s all about giving back to their community and testing their metal so to speak as they weld and solder frames for 22 stars that will be placed on hydro poles in Hastings just in time for the holiday season.
“You couldn’t ask for better quality. I’ve been to the school and I am amazed at the workmanship of these students. And their teacher Tim Ellis has been a guiding light in all of this,” Roddy said.
“We did the design concept, taking the prototype star to the HRA for final approval,” Ellis said. “It was Chris Luzzi of the HRA who approached us last April about this project.”
The manufacturing class had been approached to do a similary project for Havelock about three years ago, he added, making this request an easy one to say yes to.
Students at Norwood District High School are getting into the Christmas spirit by, you guessed it, welding. This year, the senior class is helping out by manufacturing 22 metal stars that will decorate their town during this holiday season.
