Governor Polis Visits Louisville Elementary School, Highlights Nation Leading Woodworking Curriculum For Young Students

LOUISVILLE - Today, Governor Polis visited Louisville Elementary School to highlight its nation-leading woodworking curriculum designed for young students. This nation-leading initiative helps teach young students hands-on skills.

"Colorado is leading the way in finding innovative ways to expand hands-on learning opportunities. This nation-leading initiative at Louisville Elementary engaged 391 students in over 5,500 hours of woodworking experience to help students learn new skills. Through my NGA Initiative 'Let's Get Ready!' and at schools across the state, we are finding new ways to ensure students have the opportunity to learn the skills to thrive in the classroom and beyond," said Governor Polis.

Governor Polis's NGA Chairman's initiative "Let's Get Ready!" focuses on ensuring that each Governor's and state's investment in education provides students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in the classroom and thrive in the workforce. Colorado is leading the nation in expanding opportunities to learning opportunities and career preparedness through apprenticeships and access to on-the-job learning opportunities, as well as saving families money on education through free preschool and kindergarten.
