Pull Tab Deadline

We are approaching a deadline for collecting coke tabs to benefit Ronald McDonald House. Please turn in your coke tabs by Wednesday, November 10th. This will give us time to weigh our tabs and turn in our tab total to the Nashville Ronald McDonald House.

We are one of 106 schools participating in the contest to give students a chance to win lunch from McDonalds and a free ice cream cone.

Please continue to keep saving the tabs even though the deadline is approaching. We will begin on November 11th to start saving for next year! Thank you for all your help!

Box Tops

The PTO would like to thank everyone who has supported the Box Tops program. As a result of the efforts of the parents and students, Box Tops will be sending the PTO $768.00. That is such a great turnout for this program.

Please continue to save these. We will have one more submission to Box Tops in February.
