Please save your toilet rolls and tubes to bring in between Monday February 5th and Wednesday February 7th. The ten students with the most tubes brought in over those 3 days will win a Caine’s Arcade Staff T Shirt to wear at our Cardboard Challenge event on Tuesday April 30th.
Please don’t send in other bigger cardboard boxes til April, as we have nowhere to store it. Please keep them in your home til then if you can and e mail me, kimbra.power@saschina.org if you have any extra special large boxes (like tv’s/fridges/bikes/pianos) as we will do our best to get those from you.
Thank you to the students who HAVE brought in toilet rolls so far, but again, please save them til Feb 5-7 if possible.
