BOCES 2 students create a home with Habitat for Humanity 

WEMOCO carpentry teachers Karl Church (left) and Pete Sharpe join new homeowner, Flavia Cooke, at the dedication of the third Flower City Habitat for Humanity house that BOCES 2 WEMOCO students and their teachers helped build for a family.

WEMOCO students studying carpentry, HVAC, residential electric and plumbing and heating, build the house in two parts at the BOCES 2 Career and Technical Education Center in Spencerport. It is then moved to a Habitat for Humanity site to be completed by volunteers.

Church presented the new homeowners with a hammer to symbolize the hard work and 450 hours of sweat-equity that Cooke and her family put into her new home.

Volunteers from the Rochester community including WEMOCO students helped the family finish the home on-site with over 1,700 hours of work.
