Stanford Elementary students saving pop can tabs

April 27, 2006

Students at Stanford Elementary School have been saving tabs which were given to the Lincoln County Extension Homemakers project involving Indian Summer Camp scholarship money.

Recently, students presented 100 pounds of pop can tabs to the homemakers. There were approximately 1,052 pop can tabs per pound.

Gail Hester, a teacher, has been coordinating this effort with the students. Lucille Hammons, county treasurer for Extension Homemakers and Rosa Bertram were present at the school to accept the tabs. Rosa then took and sold the tabs, resulting in a check for $56.00 for Indian Summer Camp scholarship money.

The project was labeled "Hoppers of Hope� at Stanford Elementary. 90% of the amount of tabs collected came from Stanford Elementary.

Lincoln County Extension Homemakers continually collect and sell pop can tabs for this project. The money is sent to Indian Summer Camp which is sponsored and provided by the Kentucky Cancer Program.

This camp is for children with cancer and runs during the summer months. If you would like more information on this camp opportunity, please contact the Kentucky Cancer Program. If you would like to help by collecting and selling pop can tabs, please contact Rita Stewart at the Lincoln County Extension Office at 606-365-2447.
