Immediately, organizers dedicated the project and the resulting bench in his memory. When construction of the bench is completed, a plaque on it will pay tribute to the students’ classmate and friend.
The students welcome help from the
public with donations of drink bottle and milk jug caps, lids from
peanut butter jars, ice cream containers, yogurt, sour cream, cottage
cheese, detergents, and butter. In all, the goal is to collect a
minimum of 400 pounds of materials.
Metal materials can’t be used.
However, plastic is perfect for the project. One flyer says, “If it
floats, we can use it!”
Donations are welcome at Sedalia Elementary School, 5252 State Route 97, Mayfield, KY 42066. The school’s phone number is (270) 328-4850.
