Overwhelming response in Ada and beyond
Posted by Paula Scott on Tuesday, March 22, 2022

Girl Scout Troop #20127 found a program located in Mexico called Banco de Tapitas, where they recycle plastic caps. They make items to sell such as toys, containers, household goods, etc. The money they make is then used to pay for medicines, chemo treatments, wigs, etc for anyone 21 and younger with cancer. 

The troop first posted the project on Facebook noting that anyone who wanted to could save plastic bottle caps for the troop.

Next, Tiffanie Sumney asked if they could have a contest with Ada Elementary School K-5 classes, with the class collecting the most getting a pizza party.
