Weston High School has been keeping tabs on Emory Jones. Or perhaps a better way to put it is that the administration, staff and student body has been keeping tabs FOR her. 

Emory, the two year old daughter of Jaylan Jones, was diagnosed with Leukemia earlier this year and is currently undergoing treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN.

Ronald McDonald House (RMH) is one of the nations biggest charity groups that works with St. Jude’s. What this benevolent organization does is provide a “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child facing a serious medical crisis at little or no cost.

A major fundraiser conducted by RMH is their annual Pop-Tabs Program. Collected pop tabs are recycled, generating much-needed funds to support the House and the families served each year.

As reported by the area chapter of the Ronald McDonald House in Monroe, this year the largest contribution received from any one business or organization came from Weston High School, donated in Emory’s name. 

On December 1st, an official “weigh-in” will be conducted but estimates indicate that the amount of tabs collected come to around 500 pounds, which would make WHS the top donor this year.

The family of Emory would like to thank all who assisted with the effort and ask that you continue to keep her in your prayers as she continues her battle against this dreaded disease.
