Local Students Help Out The Community Through Exercise
Todd Hicks
Students at South Mountain Elementary in Rib Mountain are burning calories and helping others at the same time.
To help fill the shelves at the Neighbor's Place Food Pantry, students were asked to bring in two cans of food.
Before they donated them they were used to help build muscle, and raise awareness about the importance of exercise.
"They use the can as kind of their resistance of their weight, it kinda gives them a little exercise as they're doing it," says Peter Reinick, 4th grade teacher at South Mountain Elementary.
A trainer from Wausau Health and Fitness helped the class.
More than 400 items were handed off to the food pantry, just in time for the holidays.
