Turn in those tabs!
Students at Rappahannock County Elementary School recently competed in yet another “exciting” contest to see which class could collect the most tab tops (soda can pull tabs) for Jan Makela’s 4th grade “Million Tab Tops Project.”
Through this latest contest, students, teachers, family and friends collected over 200 ft. of tab tops which were strung on yam, thread, and clothesline. These 200 ft. of tabs amounted to approximately 100,000 tabs and filled one more 32-gallon trash can. They still need to fill three more cans to reach one million.
Contest winners were: Grades K-3-, 'Geraldine Payne’s second grade class, who turned in over 30 ft. of tabs. Grades four to seven Chuck Way’s fourth grade class who collected 29 ft, narrowly edging past Joyce Wharton’s fourth graders with 28 ft. 4 inches.
RCES encourages all families and friends to continue to collect and send in their tabs. This project will surely continue through the summer, and we' need everyone to help. Please send yours by any RCES student or mail them to RCES, 4th grade, 34 Schoolhouse Road, Washington, VA 22747. You may also drop them in collection containers at The Country Cafe, Rappahannock National Bank, or Burgers ‘n Things.
Once their goal is reached and all RCES students, and their families, are thoroughly aware of just how much one million really is, the tabs will be recycled and the proceeds
