"The students in the new All Around the House course spent the end of semester 1 learning the basics of automotive maintenance; including how to change their tires, oil, and filters. The students really enjoyed learning how to do some of these tasks themselves that will help save them money in the future! The BFHS tech ed department would like to specially thank @kunes auto for donating a car to the program that the students have been able to work on. Without it we would not have been able to run this unit."
