District Eight FCCLA Gives Pop Tabs to Clayton Horst

By: Katie Arbach 

            On Tuesday, January 21, we delivered the pop tabs that the District 8 FCCLA collected for the Ronald McDonald House.  To make it more special, we delivered the pop tabs to a little boy (Clayton Horst) in Ipswich that enjoys delivering pop tabs to Sanford Children’s Castle or Ronald McDonald House.  He was supposed to come to the district meeting to receive the pop tabs, but due to bad weather could not make it.  Clayton Horst is a little boy who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer when he was seven months old.  Luckily, Clayton is now cancer free at this time!  He was so happy to receive all of the pop tabs.  

            The winner for the local pop tab contest was the high school.  The community of Hoven collected sixty-eight pounds of pop tabs and all together as a district, we collected three hundred and thirty six pounds of pop tabs.  We would like to thank the community for saving the pop tabs. Next year, we will be having the pop tab contest again so keep saving them during the summer.  Clayton cannot wait until next year to receive them again!
