#FlashBackFriday While Thursday, August 1st, 2024, was the official first day of the new school year for Atlanta Public Schools, this week, Building Talent Foundation reflects back to Monday, May 13th, 2024.
On this day, Derrick Henderson, MPA, Senior Engagement Manager for Atlanta, GA, and the team from Beazer Homes, joined 40 second graders at the Barack and Michelle Obama Academy for a morning of engaging activities.
The event began with an introduction of Building Talent Foundation and Beazer Homes representatives. This was followed by Sarah Banks, VP of Sales for Beazer Homes reading to the students "Someone Builds the Dream," a construction book written by Lisa Wheeler. The kids also participated in a hands-on STEM activity, constructing houses with Legos and Play-Doh.
Introducing stories about skilled trades, hands-on activities, and role models to elementary and middle school students develops their love and respect for people who build our homes. It also teaches them about the creativity and innovation in the construction industry, ensuring that young people see construction as a rewarding potential career.
