GALION — Northmor JOG and Youth Safety Council went to the Ronald McDonald House on Jan. 22 to deliver eight boxes of pop tabs from the elementary and JOG students.
Students also brought four large bags of fleece blankets made by Mrs. Kathy Cass and her mother.
The students separated into groups and cleaned the Ronald McDonald House from the basement to the third floor. The students washed windows, sweep floors, disinfected play areas and doorknobs, dusted and cleaned kitchens.
This year students had the honor of helping the Ronald McDonald House chef, Chef Blair, prepare a lunch and serve the families, while the students who cleaned the kitchens baked cookies.
The Ronald McDonald House staff said it is always glad to see the Northmor students as they are hard workers, disciplined and know what their jobs are with cleaning when they arrive at the house.
Students gave the Ronald McDonald House a check for $1,850 for the families to stay at the home. Northmor JOG has given more than $11,989 since 2007 to benefit the House and the families.
Donation goals were reached through the help of the Northmor staff and Jeans Week, donation cans at the football games, Halloween Costume Contest, Pie In the Face Contest and the Shell Station on Ohio 95.
