Pepsi Refresh Project
The Pepsi Refresh Project began on October 7, 2011 and ran through October 21,
2011. Everyone was asked to bring in canned food in support of our local food
pantries. On October 20, 2011, the FCCLA sponsored “Canned Out”. Students were
to bring cans in and stack them at the door of their first hour class.
Classrooms which were canned out allowed the students to participate in a Wii
dance competition in the gym. A large number of cans was collected for our food
banks.
