Tahoma Junior High School is now affiliated with a national organization that is providing phone calling cards to U.S. soldiers that are paid for through the sale of used cell phones.

Cell Phones for Soldiers is a non-profit organization that was started a couple of years ago by a pre-teen sister and brother team which has since gone national. Old and broken cell phones are collected across the country and are recycled through the group with proceeds purchasing calling cards for soldiers serving across.

There will be a small drop-off box in Tahoma Junior High’s office, and in time there will be a larger container available for outside dropoffs after school hours. The school is located at 25600 Summit-Landsburg Road SE.
