Save Old Phones for SDOC

Every year during the holidays, people receive new gadgets.  If you get a new cell phone this year, the School District of Oconee County wants your old one, explains Superintendent Dr. Mike Lucas.  “The Education Foundation supports innovative ideas in the classroom and one of the things they are going to be doing is collecting cell phones.  Therefore, if you get a cell phone over the holidays hold on to it.  I know sometimes the company will give you so much credit, but if you will hold on to it and donate it at one of our schools that will be used so that we can give grants to teachers for innovative activities in the STEAMS, the science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics and service.  Again we hope that you will hold on to your old phones, printer cartridges, and of course Smart Phones are included with regular phones as far as the cell phones and that is going to be a fundraiser for the Education Foundation.” So after the holidays, donate your old phones and printer cartridges to a school in the School District of Oconee County to support the Education Foundation’s teacher grant program.
