"We CAN do it"

Recycle those cans:

This contest asks that Tapteal families turn in their aluminum cans to Clayton Ward Recycling, 1950 Saint St. between the dates of March 17th and April 18th. Families are to mention that the cans are for Tapteal and the recycler will keep track of the pounds turned in during the duration of the contest. At the end of the contest a check will be made out to the school for $.10 per pound over the going rate!

And Save Those Campbell's Labels:

It's not just the can that CAN benefit our school. Campbell's Soup can labels are being collected. So, save those labels and send them in with your student.
