Ever since The Bodine School found out Ronald McDonald House of Memphis collects pull/can tabs to raise money for their organization, the school has been collecting and saving them. What started as merely pulling can tabs at lunch turned into a larger collection endeavor. After two students – fourth grader Carter W. and fifth grader Brayton M. – brought in over 15 pounds each of can tabs last semester, a competition was created by fourth grade teacher Ms. Lee to see who could collect the most can tabs to assist St. Jude families. Numerous students have been bringing in donations of can tabs to do their part to help out. Thanks to them, Bodine has collected over 100 pounds of can tabs so far this semester! One student in particular was determined to help. Fourth grader Avery C. exceeded expectations by collecting and bringing in 78 pounds of can tabs!!! The Bodine School and Ronald McDonald House of Memphis appreciates everyone’s continuing participation.
