“Cans for Camp!”
Our Be Nice Student Leadership Group is collecting pop cans during the month of January. 100% of the proceeds will go toward providing 6th grade camp scholarships. Our goal is 2000 cans! This amount of cans translates to 10 full scholarships. We are collecting them at the middle school building. You can choose to send your child in with the cans, drop them off, or even bring them to parent/teacher conferences. If you work in an establishment that can donate cans, contact Anna Starr at OMS to arrange a pick up. Thank you, in advance, for helping us reach our goal!
