Plato, MO. – According to information from the webpage of the U.S. Army, soldiers recently constructed a portable stage for the Plato High School.
The project was worked by 20 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s Engineer School 120A Warrant Officer Basic Course.
The planning for this project started between an instructor of the course, as well as a technical director for the USAES’s Department of Instruction met with school officials with the Plato R-V School District about what would enhance the schools then-upcoming graduation ceremony.
After assessing the needs of the students, it was decided that a portable stage equipped with ramps for handicapped students would be the correct course of action.
It was stated that the soldier-students that worked on the stage put their weekends and lunch hours into the project, totaling over 100 man hours.
