With the Philadelphia School District eliminating nearly all skilled trades- and construction-related curriculum from their middle schools, the Wagner Middle School will host an important introduction to the trades for 150 students on Saturday, Dec. 16, during a 3-hour workshop from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

This course includes instruction on everything from selecting proper materials, substrate preparation, application technology, troubleshooting, and hands-on training.
