Last Wednesday, Mrs. Hansen took a group of Cal-Wheat and DeWitt students to Wendling Quarries for an industry tour. Students were able to explore several components of Wendling Quarries. They started the morning learning about the company and their core values. Then students visited a quarry outside of Camanche where they toured the facility and finished the day with pizza. Students were very impressed with the tour and what Wendling Quarries has to offer! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdhs #careerandcollegeready #exploringcareers #wendlingquarries #weloveourcommunity
