We're excited to announce that the Coopers Campus was selected to receive $10,000 from @Harbor Freight Tools for Schools for their student-led community impact project! This grant will aid in the design, planning, and implementation of a splash pad at the Village Park in Savona, NY. The 600 square foot splash pad, aptly named "Lillee's Pad", will be built in memoriam of 6-year-old Lillee Bronson who passed away in 2022 from metastatic osteosarcoma. Led by @SkillsUSA officers/members, the entire GST Coopers Campus will come together to build the lily pad shaped concrete pad featuring 12 spray nozzles and 3 water features. We can't wait to get started! @NYSSkillsUSA #PROUDTOBEGST
