Steinbach Family Resource Centre Launches “Bottle Drive”

By Angelique Forest

During the month of May, students and businesses in Steinbach are participating in a “Bottle Drive” geared to collect donations for the Steinbach Family Resource Centre. The campaign started in April.

“Students who wanted to participate took bottles home and asked for donations,” explained Michelle Wyryha, an administrator with the Steinbach Family Resource Centre. “Though the numbers aren’t in yet, the class- room of Don Dewey in Stonybrook Middle School, as well as the Steinbach Giant Tiger are still collecting donations.”

Clearspring Middle School has already exceeded expectations collecting thousands of dollars.

“Rough count is $3058.46 - the whole school participated,” said Wyryha who praised teacher Dawn Gautron and the students participating.

“As we are just starting to do the bottle drive again our ex- pectation was already exceeded with Clearspring Middle School,” she added. “We are grateful to all who supported our bottle drive which in turn will help with our programming for families in our community.”
