RECYCLE OLD ELECTRONICS ETC. TO HELP WEST SEATTLE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: We still have a pile of old cell phones etc. around the house and maybe this is the way to go: Now through May 30, you can turn in everything from cell phones to laptops to old inkjet cartridges, and WSHS Football will benefit from the proceeds of recycling or refurbishing. Scroll down the WSHS daily bulletin to “students and staff” for more details, or click here to e-mail Monique for info.
