Professional welder visits Cecil H. Parker School pre-K classes

On Wednesday, October 30, 2024, as part of their unit on community, pre-K classes at Cecil H. Parker School were visited by Juan Almonte, welding instructor and supervisor with the NYC Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Mr. Almonte has been welding with the MTA for 25 years. He brought in parts of his safety equipment for scholars to engage with, including his welding helmet, gloves, jacket and apron. Scholars were excited to learn that welders use fire as hot as lightning to melt and repair train tracks for the community.
