Thanks for having me this summer for the Educator Externship. Our three 'hosts' were awesome in explaining what they do and giving insight into the skills needed.  I have to say, at the beginning of the bidding activity I was a little frustrated and couldn't see much benefit, but by the end I was converted.  Great way to get people to think and work as a team.

Coming into this I felt I knew something about what had to happen before a structure was built, but I didn't know how much I didn't know!  The hands-on exercises were really a lot of fun and taught me a lot about the scope and sequence of constructing a building.

I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed our visit to your company! Not only was I participating in this experience as a teacher but I was looking at it through the eyes of a mom with two children who are facing the real world very soon. I could see young adults, such as my son, very satisfied and successful at a company such as yours. I really enjoyed the activities and was inspired and impressed by everyone we had the pleasure of speaking with. Thank you for your hospitality and lunch. We were very spoiled.

Thank you for allowing us to explore your vast areas of knowledge.  The information that you shared will be vital in helping students navigate their future careers and opportunities.
The activities enlightened me in vocabulary, task responsibilities, the depth of your knowledge and the responsibilities of your various jobs.  I look forward to building a partnership that will allow strengthening of our community.

Thank you Yohn Baldwin for taking time away from your demanding day to host all of us.  I understand that so many of us was an unexpected challenge.  Yohn, Aaron, Elizabeth, and Isaac, if the four of you, and a few more, ever drop in for a meal, tour, and conversation at my house or MHS, I will do my best to be as gracious.  I was impressed.
The activities were so fitting, and perhaps something we could use in a classroom or presentation at McMinnville High School. I was most impressed by the many skills you use to deal with the complexities of your business. I have a lot of ideas for sharing this with my students. Thank you Yohn for highlighting the three young people. I can think of many high school students I know who would be inspired by . Also, wow, how neat to learn about the new technology being used in the business. Laura Monroe

For taking the time and energy of you and your staff to spend with teachers, and teach us a wee bit about the contracting and construction business.  There are so many career opportunities.  I really enjoyed the activities--they really made time fly.  Thanks for the diversity in presentations--it was great hearing Yohn, Aaron, Isaac and Elizabeth's career path.

The time went so fast. I thoroughly enjoyed all we heard from Yohn's philosophy to the Project Manager's view. Both the estimating and scheduling activities were fascinating.  Lunch was terrific!
Can't wait to tell my students!

The two projects  were brilliant ideas. I am convinced that I am not cut out for this job as I felt stressed out almost immediately. A great idea.  Thank you.

I found Yohn's presentation to be very relevant to what we are trying to teach our students. 3 things that he said particularly caught my attention:                           "Make yourself valuable"

"Be a person who designs their own life"
"Society has a moral obligation to the individual, BUT the individual also has a moral obligation to society"
Aaron, Elizabeth and Isaac were excellent presenters and were patient with all our questions. Thank you so much.

Great place! Cool to learn about the construction process. Fun activities

This was a great opportunity to both learn about the contracting business and to apply that in some hands-on activities. There is definitely a lot that goes into what these guys do every day, and looking behind the scenes was a great opportunity.

Thank you so much for hosting us today. Aaron, Isaac, and Elizabeth did a great job of sharing different aspects of what you all do, and I learned a lot today. I really appreciated the activities you had us do today, and can see how I can adapt those to use in my math class. I really enjoyed the bidding activity! I also really appreciated seeing the different paths each of the presenters took to get to where they are today. I think that highlights for students that there is more than one way to get where you want to be. Thank you, again, and you have a beautiful facility!

Yohn's discussion this morning was thought-provoking. The simulations helped us to understand some of the daily work that is done. I had no idea that so much went into an estimate! Thanks for a great day!

Thank you Yohn for hosting this large group of curious teachers. The information about your field will be very important for our students to know as they seek a career in this industry. Great presentation styles from Aaron, Isaac, and Elizabeth. The bidding simulation was fun and informative and the lunch was very tasty!

Thank you so much for hosting us today and answering all of our questions about construction.  It's an industry that is sort of off my radar, and knowing about these types of local jobs will help me share information with my students.  Also, the hands on learning experiences were pretty fun.   The lunch was also really great!  Thanks again!
