6/11/14 - Pinckney High School hasnât always had the best reputation. The institution has been referred to as âheroin highâ within social media circles. But at last nightâs Recreate Pinckney movement presentation, held in the high school's auditorium, Pinckney Superintendent Rick Todd asked the audience to change their perspective and help the youth in the community who have lost their voices. The Recreate Pinckney movement is beginning with a plan to build a youth center in Pinckney that is within biking distance from the school. Organizers hope the center can help alleviate what they say is chronic inactivity of students when school is not in session. Students currently have little choice in community recreation and often isolate themselves in their rooms, or travel to Howell or Brighton for activities. The Recreate Pinckney team called to the audience for financial and other social contributions to make the vision of the youth center a reality. The presentation was heavily attended, and interest was high as audience members flooded the lobby afterward. There they were greeted by several tables headed by posters created by students, which depicted their hopes for the effort. Attendees had the opportunity to sign up to provide their services in every aspect of the youth center creation process, from help with legal issues to mentoring in music and other fine arts. Recreate Pinckney organizers are actively looking for volunteers of all trades for their support. Those wishing to become a part of the movement can get more information through the link below.
