Save your can tabs! - In May 2011, Winston County Students were involved in a County-wide Service Learning Project, collecting tabs off cans. These tabs were delivered to Children's Hospital to help with a student from another county who was hospitalized due to the April 2011 tornado. In talking with the Representative from The Ronald McDonald House, we had more than enough tabs to help with that project, and the remainder of tabs will help those students from Winston County. This project was only a month long, and the number of tabs turned in was FANTASTIC. Winston County Schools will continue this Service Learning Project throughout the up-coming school year. We just might even have a contest in designing the tab container! Watch for more details!! Please continue collecting tabs for our children who are patients at Children's Hospital, and their families who stay in The Ronald McDonald House.

 During the next five years, Alabama will be celebrating many special anniversaries of significant events that helped create and shape our state. Becoming Alabama is a state-wide initiative to remember and commemorate these events. Help children take part in the Becoming Alabama activities and connect with these special anniversaries with the Becoming Alabama Activity Booklet and List of Becoming Alabama Events for Kids.
