During Catholic Schools Week each elementary and middle school class will have the opportunity to create a can sculpture in preparation of the event. This activity is a brainstorming opportunity to narrow down our final submission to Cansculpt 2017.
Sculptures will be constructed February 11th at Holly Hill Mall and the public will vote February 12th-18th for the People's Choice Award. The goal is for all teams to use 100,000 or more cans as all of the canned goods are for hungry children in Alamance County.
If your child is interested in joining the BSS Can Do Team please contact Mrs. Wetter at rwetter@bssknights.org.
