A group of Pine Ridge Secondary School students is crafting a way to help people living in poverty.
Mrs. Hopper’s Life Skills class and Mrs. Anderson's Practical Learning Program class are in the midst of turning empty clean cans, otherwise destined for the recycling bin, into “Anything Cans,” to be used as containers to hold anything from pens to cotton balls. The cans are being sold, raising money for children living in poverty.
