Parker and Kyle Wentz work on the Senior food bin.
The Physics class is rebuilding the food bins, from last year, over the next couple of weeks in the last bay port behind the school. The students are repairing the bins that did not work by attempting to make them similar to the bin that did work last year.
Tuesday the physics class got to move the bins from their resting place over the summer into the shop, where they began deconstructing the bins so the students could salvage the materials and begin to construct the other three bins to be like the senior bin. Wednesday, the students were diligently cutting carpet and removing the materials from inside of the bins. Thursday they had a day off because they are still looking for the plastic that they will use in the flaps, and repair the old flaps in the senior bin, which they hope to have Monday.
When asked what the school would use if the bins were not there Mrs. Thompson replied “They would have cardboard boxes about the size of a washing machine, that wouldn’t even get half filled.” The food bins will all be working in time for the annual food drive December 5th through the 15th.
