Recycle for a Cause

What if you could help a child in need by doing something as simple as taking the metal tab of your soda can before recycling it?


21 Century Community Service Program is starting a new project! We are collecting tabs from aluminum cans to fund free transportation to the nearest Shriners Hospital for children in need. Instead of just recycling old cans along with their tabs, please donate them so we help these children! Drop off your collected tabs to your homeroom teacher or at your floor office. There are also jars in all the pods. Thank you for all you help! Your donations are greatly appreciated! JJJ

21st Century Community Service: Ms. Simmons & Ms. Barry
