UPPER SCHOOL
Used Technology Drive
Havergal will be hosting a used technology drive this year in partnership with reBOOT, an Ontario based organization that collects used technology and, after restoring it, donates it to non-profits, community centres, and people with limited access to technology. Bring your used technology (iphones, ipads, computers, etc – please see image for more information) to the HC Rotunda on Wednesday June 14 from 8:30am – 12:00pm (the same time and date as used textbook collection). We will also be collecting your used devices in the HC Driveway from 7:30am – 8:30am so you can easily drop off your donations without having to come into the building.
For information on how to wipe your device to protect your privacy before donation please click LINK. Please note that reBOOT will also wipe the devices when restoring them, but if it makes you feel more comfortable to do so, you can do it yourself before donating. For more information on reBOOT and their work pleaser visit: reBOOT Canada
If you have any questions please email cdoyle@havergal.on.ca or sdoyle@havergal.on.ca
Thank you, and see you June 14th for the technology drive!
