WCHS DECA students take action

“Petunia’s Pot”, the perfect outdoor planter

Football helmets are worn by more than 42 million athletes around the globe. The process of making football helmets is overwhelming. After a football helmet has been constructed, the manufacturer checks the helmet to make sure it’s safe and modeled correctly. Each year, high schools around the country send their helmets back to a manufacturer to be “re-conditioned”. That is, these helmets are tested for safety.

Some of the football helmets at WCHS don’t make the cut every year. These rejected helmets are only good for one thing – the landfill. This happens around the country because the rejected helmets cannot be recycled, thus filling up landfills. We decided to turn those helmets into everyday reusable products. The products that we created vary from a teacher supply helmet, to a flower pot, to a soda “guzzler”.
