FMHS Students Craft Innovations for Pennellville's Friends Forever Animal Shelter

Title: FMHS Technology Classes Collaborate to Support Local Animal Shelter

Jensen Bergman, a high school teacher at FMHS, learned that the Friends Forever Animal Rescue in Pennellville, NY, needed help with construction projects. He introduced this opportunity to his Principles of Engineering class. The students were eager to participate, considering it a highlight of their year. They appreciated the chance to contribute to animal welfare.

The engineering students designed four key items for the shelter and passed their designs to the Residential Construction classes. This collaboration between the technology classes showcased the practical use of their skills and promoted teamwork.

The project began with a whelping box for a mother dog and her puppies, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. Next, the students built a puppy feeding divider for up to ten puppies, allowing them to eat without crowding.

They also constructed two rolling carts, each holding nine large food storage bins. These carts help shelter volunteers efficiently manage food and save space. The students applied their problem-solving skills to create these functional solutions.
