Blue Ridge 6th Graders Give Donation!

Before Christmas you may have seen hexagon shaped donation containers in local businesses. These were made in art class by sixth graders from Blue Ridge who where hoping to collect money to donate to Susquehanna County Interfaith. The sixth graders were Brandy Baker, Devin Donnelly, Grace Perera, Brooke Marvin, Lindsay Reinhart, John Calla, Bailey Shaw, Alex Degraw, Daniel Beesley, Nick Folk, Dulce Tobon-Montiel, Zack Visakay, Callie Wyatt, Mikhala Griemsmann, Allison Hewitt, Megan Houlihan, Autumn Brown, Logan Conrad, and Jordan Mann. The coins and bills collected are to be donated to aid in paying for heat for families in need in our community. All of the containers have been collected and the money counted. Thanks to the generous people and businesses in our area we raised $455.49. On behalf of Blue Ridge Sixth Grade art class we thank all of those who donated and the following businesses that participated: Burger King, Dobb's Country Kitchen, Green Gables, New Milford Hardware, Pump N Pantry, Lindsey's Hardware, People's National Bank, New Milford Market, First Glance, Stone's Trustworthy Hardware, and Armetta's in Gibson.
