WE NEED THOSE I-PHONES
Are you considering a new I-PHONE 4? If so, you can deactivate your old I-PHONES and donate them to OLG School. With educational apps, they make great learning devices for our students at their different learning stations. What a great reason for updating your phone!
PS We would love your old I-TOUCH devices too!
Leave a message on our school phone (619) 466-0055, and we will be in touch.
