What does this mean for Bloomer Elementary?
How many of your friends and family have those three or more expired cell phones sitting at their house? Set a goal this week to ask two friends or family if they have any cell phones that can be recycled and raise money for our school. Does your work provide cell phones to its employees? Can you ask what the company does with the phones when they're replaced?This fall isn't about asking friends and family to buy products to help our school, it's about recycling what we already have into funds we need to continue P.I.E.'s programs. All we have to do is ask.
