Huge shoutout to the Building Trades Dual Credit Program through Springfield School and Lamar Community College led by instructor Ernie Felzien! This incredible program gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn both high school and college credits at the same time while learning valuable hands-on trade skills that can lead directly into careers after graduation. Students gain real-world experience in carpentry, construction safety, and more while also working toward industry certifications such as OSHA-10 and NCCER credentials. This year, the senior class took on this project and it was one of their biggest and most unique projects yet: designing and building a completely custom outdoor sauna for Kelby and Elle Sikes. From start to finish, these students poured countless hours into this build, tackling challenges that pushed them outside their comfort zones. They worked with specialty woods, new materials, custom angles, and construction techniques many of them had never used before. What makes this project even more impressive is that these students didn’t just build something functional, they created something beautiful. This sauna is 100% American, Baca County, and STUDENT made. One of a kind and absolutely remarkable. Every detail reflects the craftsmanship, determination, teamwork, and problem solving skills they’ve developed throughout the program. Projects like this show just how valuable career and technical education programs are for our students and our community. These young men are learning skills that will serve them for a lifetime while proving that hard work, dedication, and hands-on learning still matter. The final product is absolutely remarkable, and the pride these senior students should feel is well deserved. Great job to all of the students involved and to Ernie Felzien for continuing to invest in the future of skilled trades!
