Pop Tabs Fundraiser!!!
We are collecting Pop Tabs for the Ronald McDonald house! Every class at the Elementary Building is participating and the class that collects the most (based on weight) wins a Pizza Party for the class!
This collection started in the month of January and will run until the end of March-- so there is still a lot of time! Reach out to family members, community members, neighbors, and even businesses! Each classroom is motivated to win and for a good cause! You can send the pop tabs in any day, each classroom has a container where they are keeping them. Good Luck and we thank you for your support!
