We collected thirty-seven and a half pounds of pull tabs in the 2018-2019 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! Mrs. Deuer dropped off 27.8 pounds on 2/6/2020. Please click the link to learn other ways to help RMH of Greater Cincinnati. Ronald McDonald House of Greater Cincinnati

We are still collecting used mascara wands for a charity that uses the wands to clean wildlife. Please click the link for the Appalachian Wildlife Refuge for more information. We sent eighty-two wands in the 2018-2019 school year.  Appalachian Wildlife Refuge.

NHS now recycles used markers, highlighters, and dry erase markers of any brand through the Crayola ColorCycle program. Send all used markers of any type or brand to Mrs. Deuer at GHS via interoffice mail or drop in the main office. We will package and ship all markers to Crayola's processing facility in Pennsylvania and keep all those markers out of the landfills.
