On June 16, 2016, CCDI kicked off the first annual Mentor/Mentee Event at Clayco’s St. Louis office. 17 Students and their parents from Jennings High School and Ritenour High School had a chance to meet up with their mentors.

The day started off with introduction of Clayco along with BIM and drone presentations. Next, the students made a visit to Midwest Testing Lab which included several interesting demonstrations. The students and mentors then toured the new Schnucks Warehouse located in Berkeley Missouri.

To close the event, Kevin Schulte cooked BBQ for everyone. We were also gracious to have Dr. Art McCoy visit the lunch. He is the current Jennings Superintendent.
