Last month, the Fontana Unified School District School Police Department kicked-off their third annual competition to collect aluminum can pop tops.

This year's competition will run through March 4, 2011 and once again pits Fontana elementary schools against each other to win a special public safety assembly for their school.  But the real winner of the competition is the Loma Linda Ronald McDonald House, as all proceeds will go directly to benefit the charity.

FUSD Police Chief Bob Ratcliffe is challenging the schools to beat last year's district total of 458 pounds (that's 559,320 pop tops!) and Chaparral Elementary School's individual total of 72 pounds.

If you would like to donate your pop tops, you can drop them off at FUSD School Police Services.  Monetary donations are also accepted.
