Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with

life-threatening illnesses. When I was in Mrs. Simpson’s

fourth grade class I was diagnosed with Burkitt’s

Lymphoma Cancer. As a former Make-A-Wish recipient

and active volunteer, my goal is to raise $6,000.00 (the

average cost of a Wish) for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Thanks for your Support,

Can-Struction for Wake Relief!

In 2010, with an estimated 919,938 people in Wake County, over 84, 634 (9.2%) were considered to be under the poverty level. As unemployment rates rise, this number can only be going up. Wake Relief is a food pantry at St. Savior’s Center in downtown Raleigh who counts on us to bring cans to stock their pantry for the holidays.

This year, Key Club, along with Ms. Cardillo’s Art Ideas and Art Foundations classes will be working together to construct larger-than-life-sized sculptures out of the cans we collect for this year’s food drive. We’re continuing a nationwide effort to raise awareness for hunger by making art out of cans.

We’re starting this week to collect specific cans to build our dream sculptures and we will have our usual advisory competition. The color-coded cans needed to make our sculptures will be worth more points in the competition. Together, let’s help feed Wake County for Thanksgiving!

Cans for 5 points:

15 oz. Libby's Mandarin Oranges, or other
Fruit in golden can

28 oz. Bush's Baked Beans - Honey flavored, in orange can

5 oz. Bumble Bee Tuna
in white can

The brands are important to be able to stack cans, BUT, if there is a store brand that is the same dominant color and exact size, you could substitute.

All cans are welcome! Cans for the art are due on Thursday, October 27th, to Richards Hall and the required cans get 5 points until that day. Other cans will be collected between Oct. 27-Nov. 17th in Rhonda’s Cafe and advisories can get 1 point for those cans. For the competition, please count your total advisory cans, and email totals to margaretedwards @ravenscroft.org by Nov. 17 so your advisory can win a free pizza lunch, one per grade!


We’re saving our can-struction design for the opening in the gallery, but here are a few examples of structures we like, to get you excited!
