Lewis and Clark Can Tab Project  
The Students at Lewis and Clark Middle School began a project 12 years ago to collect 6 million can tabs.  During a lesson about the Holocaust the students were having difficulty understanding the magnitude of 6 million lives.  The class thought that the can tabs would help to visualize the loss of life and remember the victims.  A reception was held on Frday, May 14 to recognize the completion of the project and remember the lives lost during the holocaust.

The money from recycling the aluminum can tabs will be donated to the Holocaust Museum in St. Louis and is expected to be about $1600.
