COMMUNITY OUTREACH IN OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS
S&P ScoutReach Outdoor Classroom
S&P collaborated with HISD and ScoutReach, a BSA Sam Houston Area Council program, to create a unique initiative which provided 5th-grade students with an immersive experience in the construction industry, teaching skills such as architectural sketching, blueprint reading, safety protocols, measurements, project success planning and more. S&P is committed to creating a positive impact in our community. Through collaboration, support, and engagement, we can create meaningful and lasting change.
