Welcome Cardinals!
Pop Tops Collection Contest
It’s Pop-Top Contest season again! Compete among other classes for the prize of a Pizza Party!!!
Classes are collecting pop tops from December 2nd to February 28th to donate to the Ronald McDonald House. Your class donations will be collected and weighed every week.
>>> The class with the most pounds donated will earn a class pizza party! <<<
Important Note about collecting Tabs:
ONLY “pop” tops from aluminum beverage cans should be collected. Please DO NOT bring in any pull tabs from other cans such as: cat food, soup, and other household goods. Those may actually be steel or other alloys. Non-aluminum tabs are frequently more dangerous to remove from lids, but will also need to be discarded and not counted for weight to avoid contamination. If you have any questions about tabs, please check out guidelines and tips at: Pop Tabs for the House
