St. Gabriel to host e-waste drop off, Funds raised to help build play structure
Posted Feb 23, 2012 By Jessica CunhaEMC News -St. Gabriel Catholic Elementary School will host an electronic waste drop-off next month to help raise funds to build a play structure.
The new school in Kanata North implemented full-day kindergarten this year and wants to offer its students a place to play.
"We want to develop a plan for our yard that would include play structures and other structures that would keep the kids busy and active," said Jane Hill, principal of St. Gabriel.
Currently, the school has 140 kindergarten students.
Once a play structure is built, the school will focus on the rest of its yard plan.
"We're providing a service for our community," said Hill.
"Being new we want to start building that relationship with the community."
The e-waste drop off will take place on March 31, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Gabriel, located at 400 Keyrock Dr., Kanata.
Hill warned that items can't be dropped off ahead of time because the school isn't licensed to store e-waste.
Items such as computers, answering machines, cell phones, telephones, CD players and more can be dropped off during the event.
