Cell Phones for Soldiers
WE HAVE COLLECTED AND TURNED IN 51 OLD CELL PHONES!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR DONATIONS AND PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING. WE WILL BE COLLECTING THEM ALL YEAR!!!!
Harris Middle School is in need of your old, unwanted, even broken cell phones.
Through the GLOBE classes we are accepting old cell phones that are turned into calling cards for soldiers overseas, that provide them with an hour of talk time. It is a very worthy cause, so please if you have any cell phones, we will be taking donations all year long.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!
