One of the teachers responded that they would take items like that whether or not they are working. Here is a link to that post. Otherwise contact the high school office at 232-2606.

Shared by the City of Menomonie - Lithium-ion batteries don't belong in the trash or your recycling cart! They can start fires very easily - see this video for an example. Several recycling facilities in the state have recently had large, devastating fires that have shut down operations for months. Lithium-ion batteries can be saved for a Clean Sweep collection or brought to Batteries Plus & Bulbs or First Choice Recycling in Eau Claire for proper recycling.
The Mabel Tainter shared that Tainter family relatives recently visited and brought what they believe to be a picture of Mary Poskin Goose, Andrew Tainter's first wife. She was the daughter of the chief of the Lac Courte Oreilles tribe, a band of the Ojibwe nation. The Mabel Tainter had been unable to locate a picture and didn't think one even existed. Both the family and historians believe this could finally be a picture of Mary Poskin Goose, the mother of Mabel’s half-siblings.
