Dear Parents, Students and Public
Please continue to bring in used ink cartridges, laser cartridges, digital cameras, laptops, tablets and cell phones from the community and
return them to the high school. As a result NSCHS will earn funds for each qualifying cartridge, camera, etc returned.
Through partnerships with Tree Canada and American Forests, Think Recycle will sponsor the planting of one tree for every 24 rebated
cartridges, cameras, etc, collected. We request your support in ensuring the success of this cost‐free fundraising program.
Your place of employment can also support NSCHS by saving these items and having your child/you return them to the high school.
Your support of the Think Recycle program will help teach the students and our community the importance of recycling, the benefits of
tree planting and help raise funds for our library and classrooms.
Support Think Recycle and NSCHS library.
