I left my iPhone on the ground at my son's school this afternoon. He has summer camp at this school, I was waiting with DS2 for the bus to return. When DS1 arrived he handed me some stuff and they ran off to the ice cream man (whose constant presence at the school needs it's own Bitching Post) and I was afraid DS2 would go in the street so I ran off and left my phone on the ground.
One of the camp "teachers" (I don't know her - she is from a different school site, they have multiple school sites from the district using our school's campus for the summer) just called me. She took it from some kids who were playing with it, had her husband go through my phone to get info to track me down, and called me tonight to say she will leave it with our school's site coordinator on Monday! (ETA: the people who are doing the summer camp are the same who do the aftercare during the year. So I think it is part of the school district, but maybe sort of separate?)
She said it wasn't easy to figure out who the phone belonged to...my battery was really low, so I don't know if it's that, or if the kids stripped everything off my phone before she got to it, or if it's because I suspended service on my phone about 2.5-3 hours after I lost it. But anyway I think it's impressive that she made such an effort to find me.
So I'm thinking I should reward her, but not sure how much, or if she can even accept it, being (maybe) a school district employee. Thoughts?
