From December 9-18, Bluffton Elementary School will be conducting a "Cans and Coins" community service project with two goals: to collect items for the food pantry and collect money for community needs.
This year, the coin collection will benefit the new Village of Bluffton park on Snider Rd. that will include a soccer complex.
All coins will go in the jug by the front entrance. All food items will go on/under the table by the front entrance.
If the tub is filled with money one time time, principal Kori Bernal will surprise students with "something fun and crazy."
