Improving education by recycling an old cell phone

Because electronics continue to be replaced for the latest version, the Hope 4 Ghana Club has arranged a fundraiser from Jan. 4-14 to provide another alternative to simply throwing away old electronics.

The club is collecting used cell phones, lap tops, MP3 players, iPods, handheld games, GPS, video cameras and still cameras that can be dropped off in the boxes in NCHS main lobby or Saint Luke’s School. The money raised will support the Ghana Children’s Fund, an organization started by senior Julia Tuttle’s family, that benefits the Good Shepherd Orphanage in Ghana

Greetings from Kate and Gogo! We survived our New Years Eve babysitting gig in Vermont and we have stories to tell…

I have summered with the families that hired us for as long as I can remember, and they are famously fun and crazy. Like convincing my Dad to turn our basement into a dance club kind of crazy. The offspring that my P.I.C. (Partner In Crime) babysat for definitely inherited their parents’ PARTAY-going ways.
