From DCSD District News
Eastside Elementary School is holding a Canstruction, unique charity which hosts competitions, exhibitions and events showcasing colossal structures made entirely out of full cans of food.
After the structures are built, the creations go on display to the public as a giant art exhibition. At the end of the event, all food is donated to local hunger relief organizations. Eastside is trying to make a positive difference through their actions. You can visit www.canstructionatl.com for additional information about the construction project.
