First Grade Students Deliver Donation to Ronald McDonald House

On May 15, first grade students from Merryhill Preschool & Elementary School in Arlington delivered a donation of more than 5,000 soda can tabs to representatives at Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth. Since the beginning of March, students worked together to collect the soda can tabs, which will be recycled in exchange for funds to help offset Ronald McDonald House’s expenses and benefit families supported by the organization. Following the donation presentation, students received a tour of the facility. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping those in need.

Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth provides a “home-away-from-home” for families of critically ill children, and allows parents and siblings to stay together while remaining close to a child receiving life-saving medical care in area hospitals. Most of all, Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth is a place where families can find comfort and compassion from volunteers, staff and other families faced with similar challenges.
