Ronald McDonald House
We need your support in collecting aluminum can tabs to help the Ronald McDonald House. Students are asked to bring their tabs to school. Each classroom has a container to collect these tabs.
As an incentive for the kids the grade level with the largest amount collected will participate in a popcorn party in May.
Also, the classroom with the largest amount collected will receive an age appropriate surprise the end of the contest as well.
Thank you for your support!
Any questions can be directed to the GTE PTO or directly to me: cindyschweiss@charter.net
