Independence Interact Club "Can Do Good" and Blood Drive

For the fifth consecutive year, the Independence High School Interact Club participated in the “Can Do Good” competition. The goal of the program is to support the efforts of local food banks and to introduce high school students to the basic concepts of architecture and engineering while promoting community awareness and social responsibility. Club members conducted a canned food drive and used the donated cans to create an original sculpture conveying what Independence HS means to them. They designed a NASCAR themed structure with tracks encircling and winding through the base.

During the competition on November 5, students were given three hours in which to assemble their structure in time for evaluation by the judges at noon. Our Independence High Flyers collected 555 cans and their structure, along with those from the other competing schools, remained on display for the week. Once the works were disassembled, the food was donated to North Fulton Community Charities in time for the holidays.

Another Successful Blood Drive With LifeSouth!

Forty pints of blood were donated and will be used to help 120 patients in area hospitals.
