Blue Ridge Students Give Annual Donation

Students from Blue Ridge's Fifth Grade Art club raised $219.41 this school year to donate to Susquehanna County Interfaith.  The money will help people who need help heating their homes in the cold winter months.  This is the third year that BR student's in Sarrah Dibble's after school art club have completed this project.  BR students have raised over $1500 to help people over the last three winters.  This project is part of the Hexagon Project.  Students created donation containers and placed them in local business where donations were collected.  Students used their art as a tool to help others and become interdependent with the community.  The containers will be a part of the Interdependence Day art exhibit in the fall of 2013.  For more information on the Hexagon Project and Interdependence Day please visit www.interdependencedaynepa.org.
