Canby High School students are working to build an inclusive, positive school climate through a fundraiser that tackles hate and negativity. Students will take part in a “Smash the Hate” fundraiser next week.
Next week, Leadership students will spray paint negative words on a car. Students have been voting this week on which negative words and phrases to include. Once the painting is complete, students will have an opportunity to swing a sledgehammer at the car to “smash the hate.” They’ll pay a small fee to take a swing at the car. The proceeds will benefit Canby High School.
“The symbolism behind this is that we are collecting all those negatives, putting them on the car, smashing the car, then sending the negatives away,” explained JD Bellum, CHS Leadership teacher. “Then all that is left come the following Monday is a positive school climate because we sent that hate away.”
The media is invited to campus on Tuesday, October 22, 2019 at 11:15 a.m. to get video of this visual fundraiser. Several students will also be available for interviews. Please contact a@canby.k12.or.us?subject=Smash%20the%20Hate%20Media%20Confirmation">Autumn Foster to confirm your attendance at this media availability. All press must sign in and be escorted while on campus. HD video can be provided upon request.
