Jack and Jill - Phones for boards

New school year!

Catherine — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:41:18 +0000

Firstly, I wish to welcome you all back to school and hope you had an enjoyable summer!

Due to demand, we have re-launched our ‘Phones for Boards’ scheme this September to include a wider range of products. During the summer months we contacted over 500 teachers nationwide and have re-vamped our product offerings based on direct feedback from these teachers.

In an exciting new development now every school can also recycle video games as well as used mobile phones. Here’s what we are looking for.

Games compatible with: X box, Wii, Playstation 2 and 3, PSP, Ds, DSi, DSi XL and DS3d.
Each game has to be less than 3 years of age and in reasonable condition.
Each game has to be complete in its box and with cover.

The good news is that since we launched the ‘Phones for Boards’ scheme in September 2009, over 2000 schools nationwide have registered by calling us on 1850 525 545.

Has your school registered yet? You can find our new product list and poster below.

I would love to call to your school to chat to teachers and students about the Foundation. Please email me on melanie@jackandjill.ie to arrange this.

Happy collecting!
