Empty Ink Cartridges Needed:

The Seymour Day Program is continuing to save recyclable empty ink cartridges with the funds used for purchasing items for program participants in the program. Thus far, the program has purchased a Wii and Wii Games and accessories with the proceeds. If you wish to donate empty ink cartridges, there is a box in the Group Home Office, the NEAT Center, and in Kim Blondin's office, 2nd floor main building on campus.
