Sydenham High School students in Mike Mol’s technology class received a small grant from the Limestone Learning Foundation last year for materials.

The students, Mat Edmonds, Shane Caird, Mike Guindon and Mike Barr designed and built a nifty bi-directional log splitter that will be featured at the Limestone Learning Foundation’s annual fundraising golf tournament next month.

There were plans to raffle off the splitter with proceeds to go to the Learning Foundation, but those plans have not been finalised.

In other news from SHS, Kole Hoover, an Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program student who takes a program in masonry that is jointly administered with St. Lawrence College, has received a silver medal at the provincial skills competition that was held in Waterloo last week.
