Community asked to donate soda tabs to help offset medical Expenses for Page
By Mona Sandefur

Benton students are doing what they can to help on of their own. Heather Threlkeld, Benton Community Consolidated Grade School Dist 47 Parent Teacher Organization president, said organizers are hosting a different type of fund-raiser for Page that will run throughout the school year.

“We are asking for community involvement.” Threlkeld said. We have three collection boxes inside the school. One near the K-4 office, 3-4 and 5-8 commons area.

Threlkeld said tabs would be taken to the recycling center. “We will donate the money collected to Bennett’s family,” she said.
