Cell Phones for Soldiers

Switzer has taken on a whole school challenge.  We are trying to collect cell phones for soldiers.  These cell phones will not be used by the soldiers.  They will, however, be recycled and the money goes to buy  calling cards so soldiers overseas can talk to loved ones back home.  This is the perfect time of year for this!

Cell phones do not have to work, in fact, they shouldn't be in working condition!  You can throw in the chargers, too!  On top of that old pagers are accepted, as well!   So ask your neighbors, ask your family members, ask the people at work.  Everyone has an old cell phone lying around somewhere!  When you collect them, simply have your child bring them to school and they will go into our classroom box. 

The contest will run from Nov. 14- Jan. 13th.  Please help us out!  If we collect 1,000 phones as a school, we will win a school-wide pizza party.  If we don't make that number as a school, the top classroom will be the winner of the pizza party. 

Thanks for your help!  :0)
