Our Lady of Mercy School

Once again, we are recycling used printer cartridges and cell phones as a technology fundraiser.  Each year we raise $1500-1800 for new hardware and software.  In this troublesome economy, here’s a FREE, easy way to help OLM School keep our technology current.  The program, through the Funding Factory, pays us money for each QUALIFYING cartridge and cell phone.  These donations are then re-purposed in the industry.

Which cartridges qualify? Approximately 80% qualify for this program. To find out if your home or business cartridges qualify, visit this link.  If it’s on the list, send it to school with your child.

Pizza Contest

Mr. Somers tracks all cartridge and cell phone donations by class.  At the end of the year, the top three classes will get a pizza party for their class.

Other hints:

• Be sure to bring the cartridge in it’s box, including endcaps.  This helps us to prevent damage when shipping it to Funding Factory so that these cartridges will count for the program.
• Previously recycled or “remanufactured” cartridges do not count for this program.
• We accept cell phones, too!  Check the qualifying list if you are donating a cell phone.

Thanks for supporting the OLM School Technology Program.
