🎶 On this day in 1962, The Beatles first walked into Abbey Road Studios — the same studio behind that iconic album cover with Paul McCartney's bare feet! 👣

That image sparked one of music's biggest conspiracy theories — the "Paul is Dead" myth, with fans claiming his bare feet symbolized a co**se being buried in some cultures. (Spoiler: Paul just didn't feel like wearing shoes that day!)

🎶 Class is in Session — So Is Our CANstruction Build! 🎶
Students are back in the swing of the school year, and so are our local architects, engineers, and business teams — hard at work designing incredible musical sculptures made of canned food for CANstruction!

Just like students need supplies to succeed, families need support to get through the school year. Every can helps stock local food pantries.
