CLYDE—Ronald McDonald visited Clyde St. Mary School April 11 to honor the fourth-grade students who continue to save pop-tabs for the Ronald McDonald House Children’s Charities in memory of the Sam Dailey, a student from Lakota East Elementary who died last November at the age of 15.  

Kay Dick, St. Mary school secretary, spearheaded the collection three years ago after hearing about the young man from her daughter, St. Mary graduate Rachel Dick, who was Sam’s teacher.

Each year since then, St. Mary fourth-graders have collected pop tabs. This school year the class of four collected 75,000 tabs.
