DANVILLE -- Some high school students have been working on a big assignment. But, this isn't your typical class project. 

The Danville students are building a concession stand. They're part of the Trade Building class. They've helped out with Habitat for Humanity House, but this is their biggest project yet.

"It took us awhile to work as a team, but now we're really getting into the flow of things," says instructor Jim Humrichous. He and nine students started construction last week.

They hope to finish in time for football season next year.
