MLSD Learning Services Center gets new landmark

MOSES LAKE — The entrance to the Moses Lake School District Mastering Services Heart is now identifiable by a stack of publications. Okay, not true books, but a e-book sculpture built by students at the Columbia Basin Technical Skills Centre.

“We commissioned it, and then COVID hit,” Melcher said.

The delays intended different lessons labored on the challenge above the house of a few of many years.

“A sequence of classes, definitely,” Balcom claimed.

Some of the students who initially worked on the challenge had graduated by the time it was concluded, Melcher reported.

Even with the delays, abilities center pupils held operating on the undertaking, Balcom mentioned.

“They under no circumstances dropped that concentration,” he mentioned. “Their perseverance is pretty awesome.”
