Chewing gum and wearing hats It’s a work of art arriving “just in time” to spare area residents from hunger. Students from Interact clubs, at both St. Lawrence Secondary School and Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School (CCVS), combined efforts with their Rotary Club mentors on April 15, to create a huge tin can statue of Spiderman as their entry in Canstruction Cornwall, an innovative food drive to benefit the Agapè Centre. The Rotary Interact Club statue was one of six entries in the contest, held at the Benson Centre. The team used a template developed by engineer and Rotary Club member, Jeremiah Point, to build the bust. It took seven hours to create using $4,000 worth of canned salmon, tuna and tomato sauce. Cans of food used to construct contest entries will be donated to the food bank and soup kitchen to replenish its stocks. “The kids were really excited about it and had a really good time,” said Josip Kupina, a teacher advisor on the project from CCVS. “It gave them the opportunity to be involved in their community. It was a great rewarding experience for them. We also wanted to make the project look good and be something that reflects well on everyone. I think we were able to accomplish that.” Winners of the judged competition will be announced at an awards gala, May 5, at the Agapè Centre. — supplied photo

East Front had a great time on April 20, wearing hats and chewing gum for a toonie to support Champions for Kids , a children’s charity. The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Champions for Kids Foundation is a charity that helps level the playing field for UCDSB children and their families. Statistics suggest 12-19 per cent of children in Eastern Ontario are living below the poverty line. Many families are struggling to provide their children with nutritious meals, clothing, housing and other basic needs. — supplied photo
