Give It Back® Challenge

Give It Back Spring Project

Coca-Cola challenged Charlotte Mecklenburg Middle School students to collect recycled materials and use those materials to build a Give it Back® figure. The schools that participated showed that students are creative and understand that giving back is important for their future. Sedgefield Middle took the top prize of $750 by building the recycling ballerina (pictured here.) Cochrane Middle won the second place prize of $500 by creating “GIB the robot”, and the third place prize of $250 went to Jay M Alexander Middle with their creation of the Recycled Hand.

The middle school students collected aluminum cans, plastic bottles, plastic bags, paper bags and added other recycled materials to create a Give It Back® Recycled Figure. The schools were also asked to write a short essay to answer the question “How does our figure promote giving back?”

Coca-Cola heard from many schools that the students enjoyed creating the projects. It was also a fun project for Coca-Cola as it promotes the “give it back” message to the community.
