General Announcements
Has your IPod had a long, fulfilling life and now it has begun the death rattle of a gadget nearing its fateful last walk to the junk drawer? High school students go through A LOT of cell phones. Instead of tossing them in the trash or in a drawer, recycle them. If they are still usable, donate them to a program that gives them to the troops overseas or to some other charity. If they are no longer usable, the plastic and the electronic components can be recycled so that they don’t sit in landfills for hundreds, thousands, even millions of years. You can also get cash for your used cell phones. Go to cellforcash.com or Gazelle.com and you can look up the make and model of your gadget, answer a few questions about its condition to determine how the company can recycle it, ship your stuff to the company for free, and you’ll get a check in the mail. Depending the age of your gadget, you can net anywhere from $5 to $300.
Did you know that green is the new black and gold? Purchase a Go Green T-shirt in the DECA store this week only. This student designed t-shirt is only $10. All profits will be used to purchase a tree to plant on school grounds.
