Normally, scrapping behind the school would get you in trouble but at Sexsmith High School, it’s actually helping fund the auto shop.
Sexsmith Secondary School Highschool mechanics teacher Clinton Brundige and a local company have came up with a partnership to sell scrap metal off of cars and other items, to help raise money towards Brundige’s mechanics classroom. Brundige says the money raised from this bin, will be put towards items to keep the students more interested in the classroom.
“We can use it to buy more tools, fancy parts, parts for lift kits, LED lighting, stuff that will capture the kids attention. The money is all going to the kids, it doesn’t go anywhere else outside of my classroom.”
The bin was a new addition at the start of the school year, and right off the jump it gained lots of interest locally, filling up in just two weeks. Anyone can drop off items to the bin, but Brundige is asking to keep the items just as scraps or car batteries, and to stay away from appliances due to environmental issues, you can find the bin beside the high school.
If you have items that you would like to donate to keep the kids working you can email Brundige [email protected] to set up a time to have the items dropped off.
