Students at Bethany Elementary School turned a simple collection project into a meaningful act of community service this school year, donating an impressive 171.5 pounds of pop tabs to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Charlotte.

The school’s House of Isibindi organized the pop tab collection, which ran from November through April and included a friendly competition among Bethany’s four school houses. Students, staff, and community members worked together throughout the year to collect tabs from aluminum cans, helping support families served by Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Leading the competition was the House of Amistad, which collected more than 51 pounds of pop tabs alone. In total, Bethany Elementary gathered approximately 175,000 tabs.

On Friday, May 22, members of the Isibindi House Council traveled to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Charlotte to personally deliver the donation. During the visit, students toured parts of the facility and learned how the collected tabs help provide support and resources for families with children receiving medical care.

We appreciate the overwhelming support from families and community members who contributed to the collection effort throughout the year.

We encourage the community to begin saving pop tabs for next year’s drive!

Today we might have been having too much fun at the Splash Bash to take a lot of pictures! Students that earned this incentive earned a water day with a tricycle car wash, bubbles, slip-n-slide, water slide, and more! It was a fantastic day! Many of our students also leveled up earlier this week to enjoy ice cream sundaes and a soda bar! 💦🥤🍦

Bethany Elementary Assistant Principal Kristal Stefanov has been named one of 29 Outstanding Assistant Principals by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP).

The announcement was made during National Assistant Principal Week, which coincided with Clover School District’s (CSD) spring break.

The release highlighted the importance of relationships in Stefanov’s practice:

“Relationships also serve as the foundation of culture at Bethany Elementary in South Carolina, where Kristal Stefanov draws on her own childhood in poverty. ‘Growing up in poverty taught me grit and perseverance,’ she says, shaping how she listens and partners with families to create safety, trust, and shared commitment.”

Stefanov was previously honored as CSD’s Assistant Principal of the Year and as the South Carolina Association of School Administrators’ (SCASA) Elementary Assistant Principal of the Year.
