Pop Tab Campaign for
Ronald McDonald House
Who: You,
your family, and neighbors
What: We are
joining forces with Valley View Bank to support the Ronald McDonald House
Charities by collecting metal pop tabs. Not just from soda cans!
You can find pop tabs on Campbell's soups, pet foods, V-8 canned drink and many
other places. We will weigh our pop tabs and they will be taken to a
recycler to raise money for Ronald McDonald House. The charity receives
$.65 to $.75 per pound for recycling. As our partner, Valley View Bank
will match the value of our donation with a monetary donation.
When: From now
until the end of the school year. Our goal is to collect 10 pounds per
month. That's 80 pounds!!
Where: Collection
boxes will be sent home. When they're full bring them to school and empty
them into the large barrel.
How: Ask Mom,
Dad, Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, and Uncles to save their pop tabs.
Collect them and bring them to school. It's just that easy!
Why: Ronald McDonald House
Charities provide services and housing for families with sick children seeking
longer term treatment in the Kansas City area. KU Medical Center and
Children's Mercy Hospital Downtown work with RMH Charities for their young
patients. Our community hospitals need our help and we're just the school
to pitch in and really make a difference.Questions? call Stacee 262-7765
Soldier Update
We are pleased to announce that Staff Sergeant Shawn Walker and Staff
Sergeant Barry Boswell have returned safely from their tour in Iraq.Both soldiers were part of the 1-108th
Aviation Battalion stationed in Iraq for the last year.They were greeted by family, friends,
Senator Sam Brownback, and Governor Kathleen Sebilius at a Welcome Home
Reception on Friday, September 14th at the Kansas Expo Center in Topeka.Their families are so thankful to have them
home and they truly appreciate the support of the families and staff at John
Diemer.
Mrs. Frechette (Library Aide) has informed us that
her grandson is also scheduled to return from overseas shortly.We are sure that her entire family will
breathe a sigh of relief when he reaches the end of his tour.
For the 2007 school year we continue to support
the Adopt a Soldier project.The names
of 2 soldiers have been submitted to be included in the mailings we will do
again this year.Captain Jake Dalton
and Captain Jason Miller both have family members here at Diemer and we are
pleased to be offering the soldiers and their families our support. We would
like to ask the families of John Diemer to continue providing items for the
soldiers. We look for items such as hard candy, gum, playing cards, beef jerky,
protein bars, lo-calorie snacks, and toiletries. Most of all, letters and
pictures from home truly mean the most to the men and women stationed overseas
so far from their families. Thank you, John Diemer, for all you do for these brave
soldiers. Stacee 262-7765
