Save Those Pop Tabs!
This community-wide recycling program currently pays 80% of the Ronald McDonald House's utility bills. We are going to continue to collect tabs throughout this next year, so start or keep saving your pop tabs and bring them to the collection area located in each school's office.
The deadline for turning in pop tabs for the 2008-09
school year is Friday, April 17, 2009.
Pop Tabs Donated to Ronald McDonald House.
2008 Donations CCS is happy to announce that we exceeded last year's total of 121 lbs and collected 161 lbs of "pop tabs" this year that were recently donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Columbus.
According to a representative of the Ronald McDonal House, CCS finished 5th place in the total number of pop tabs donated by the region's schools (public and private). These little pop tabs pay for 80% of the charity's utilities for the year so we are doing a good deed by participating in this project every year.
Thanks to everyone who donated their "pop tabs" this year. We have now begun to collect tabs for next year so be sure to save and turn in your tabs from now throughout the next school year.
Collections boxes are located in each school office and you can bring them in at any time.
A reminder that Calvary Christian School is continuing to collect money to support orphaned children in India this year through the ministry of Hopegivers International. Any and all donations for this cause are appreciated.
It has been our practice at CCS to try to collect $1.00 from each student on the first Monday of every month from preschool and elementary students, and the first Thursday of the month from High School and Middle School students which is sent directly to Hopegivers. Each classroom/homeroom has an orphan they are collecting money for each month. Each class has a picture of an India orphan so they can put a face with the need. Each homeroom is responsible for collecting at least $23 a month for "their" orphan. Please, also remember to pray for all of the Indian orphans.
An alternative to remembering to send $1.00 per month is to send $10 at the first of the year to cover the entire year.
Please submit donations to your child's teacher/homeroom teacher (1st period teacher for high school) in an envelope labeled "India Orphan."
Thank you for your continued support of this ministry.
YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
