We are currently running a mobile phone collection effort in conjunction with Jack & Jill. Every phone collected is worth a significant amount of money to the charity. The precious metals contained in the phones are usually recycled, allowing the charity to extract a monetary value from what is essentially a waste product for most of us. It doesn’t matter what condition the phone is in, provided that it is reasonably intact.

A nice incentive for the school is that for every 300 phones we collect, Jack & Jill will donate a brand new Promethean Interactive Whiteboard to the school as a reward!

If you have old mobile phones, or you know a family member, friend or neighbour who would like to donate their old phones to this incredibly worthy cause, please ask your son or daughter to collect them and bring them to the school within the next few weeks.

There are great prizes on offer for the form class and the individual student(s) who collect the highest number of phones. One student alone collected 110 phones last time around, so the target is likely to be pretty significant once again!

Your support and creativity would be greatly appreciated.
