Please continue to collect and bring in pull tabs from canned foods and canned beverages for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati! We collected thirty-seven and a half pounds of pull tabs in the 2017-2018 school year. One pound equals 1,600 pull tabs. RMH recycles the pull tabs and funds families staying at RMH while a sick child is cared for at Children's Hospital. Let's top this total this school year!
