National Junior Honor Society Donates Nearly 10,000 Can Tabs
Did you know that we collect soda top tabs to help with the costs of transporting patients to Shriners Children’s Hospital? Well the NJHS of Seldon Middle School sure does – and they collected and organized almost ten thousand of them and donated them to Kismet’s HPTF. We’ll take them to the scrap yard and the cash we get will help fund our Hospital Patient’s Transportation Fund. Thank you Seldon Middle School students and teachers for working so hard.
