• Starship Hospital Cell Phone Fundraiser:

Everyone knows about the wonderful work that the doctors and nurses do on behalf of sick children at the Starship Hospital. As always, more money would be very helpful to allow the Starship Foundation to purchase new items of equipment. One way we can assist is to recycle old cell phones. The Starship can get anything between $2 and $20 per phone (depending on cell phone type). This can be used to provide both medical and non-medical items that will benefit both the patients and their care-givers. We therefore seek your help and request that students from College Street Normal consider handing in to the School Office any old cell phones that they have available by this Friday if possible please. Your assistance would be very much appreciated. David and Jenny Parry
