TECHNOLOGY UPDATES A huge “THANK YOU!” for supporting the St. Patrick’s Day Tag Day. This money was used to purchase “new” flat screen monitors for the computer lab. We could not do this without your support! If anyone would like to help recycle ink cartridges at Staples, it would be appreciated. Just stop in and pick up a bag of cartridges. The school receives $2 per recycled cartridge, with a maximum of ten per month on each Staples Rewards card.
Please continue to send in used ink cartridges. |
