Can Crushing - An Environmentally Friendly Fund Raiser
6th and 7th Graders: Earn $$$ towards ELC and the Spring Musical.
St. Patrick School offers students and their families an opportunity to do something good for the environment and, at the same time, raise money for the 7th and 8th grade trip to Wolf Ridge, an environmental learning center located in Finland, MN. One-half of the money raised is distributed among the students who volunteered for can crushing. The dollar amount each student receives in credit towards the ELC trip depends on the number of students participating and the recycling profit. The remaining half of the money supports the 7th and 8th grade Spring Musical which is performed on the stage of the Phipps Theater.
