The Mount Pleasant High School Construction classes recently built benches for Dellwood Park. Jay Silman, MPISD Career and Technology Director, heard about a need and approached MPHS Construction teacher, Jim Alston, about providing for that need. “It was brought up to me that online, the community had been asking for more benches at Dellwood in the playground area,” said Silman. “So, I had Mr. Alston’s classes build them and contacted Garrett to get their ok to place them. He volunteered to have his guys come get them and took care of the rest.” The new benches have been installed are currently available for use at Dellwood Park.
