Blue Ridge Fifth Graders, in art teacher Sarrah Dibble-Camburn's Art Club, are once again collecting money to help people heat their homes in the winter.  The students complete this project annually and over the past three years have collected over $1500.  This project is part of the Hexagon Project (www.interdependencedaynepa.org) where  BR students created Hexagon shaped donation containers and will place them in participating local businesses.  The Hexagon Project stresses the need to be interdependent.  BR's Art Club defines that as helping our neighbors.  The containers will remain in the businesses for about 2-3 months collecting change.  The money raised will be donated to Susquehanna County Interfaith for their Fuel Assistance Program to help people in need. 

Pictured (l-r) are: top row - Matt Glatzel, Lydia Andusko, Peyton Gelinger, Jenna McCarthy, Brea Conrad, Marissa Derrick, Hannah Kline, Brandon Findley, Alexia Stone, Brooke Upright, Makena Slater, Olivia Colwel, Kaitlin White, Noah Shankman, Austin Beers, Carson Koehler, Michael Palmer, Dylan Dorunda, Aaron Beesley, middle row:  Kaylyn Lewis, Samantha Kupst, Destiny Posaski, Angelina Mirra, Danni-Lee Brown, Jay Groover, Joshua Hall, Clay Repella, Olivia Herbert, Marissa Sharer; bottom row - Olivia Hessey, Lauren Hegedus, Sierra Bross, Cooper Rolison, Caiden George, Kelly Bowles.  Absent from picture:  Breanna Post, Cassidy Howe, Holly Geyer, Bryant Beach.

This is the largest group of Art Club members to participate and there is much enthusiasm.  The students love to create art and they feel good helping someone at the same time.  The Blue Ridge students have been working on this project since the beginning of October. 

If you see a Hexagon Donation Container please help us by adding some change.  If you would like to make an additional donation, please contact Sarrah Dibble-Camburn at 570-465-3141 or dibbles@brsd.org.
